The Daily: Bruins Looking at Chychrun Again?; Larkin Huddles With Agent

Dylan Larkin, Red Wings

Dylan Larkin is expected to meet with his agent, Pat Brisson, at the NHL All-Star Game in Florida to discuss the status of his contract negotiations and future with the Detroit Red Wings.

Larkin, 26, has been the subject of trade rumors recently, primarily because the season is almost four months old and Larkin and the Red Wings haven’t come together on a contract. Larkin has a no-trade clause, meaning he would have to agree to be dealt. He has said he would like to stay in Detroit.

Boston Hockey Now explored the fit for Larkin coming to Boston.

Not much information has leaked out of the negotiations, but it is believed the discussion is a yearly salary the range of $8.2 million to $8.9 million per season. That has not been confirmed. But it makes sense because recent center signings of players of similar age have included  Roope Hintz at $8.45 million and Mathew Barzal at $9.1 million on eight-year deals.

If the Red Wings did trade Larkin, they could probably expect to get a package similar to what the Canucks got for Bo Horvat. A first-round pick (in 2023), high-grade prospect (Aatu Raty) and a roster player (Anthony Beauvillier).

Red Wings In Case You Missed It

The Red Wings sent Filip Zadina to Grand Rapids on a conditioning assignment. He hasn’t played since breaking a bone in his leg in early November.

Former Red Wings player Gus Nyquist is out for the regular-season with an injury. There’s still a chance the Blue Jackets could deal him.

Bob Duff wrote a behind-the-paywall (+) story about the Red Wings living a Groundhog’s Day existence. This season seems a lot like last season.

Red Wings’ Next Game

The Red Wings (21-19-8) are on their All-Star break. Captain Dylan Larkin is the Red Wings’ lone representative at the All-Star weekend. The Red Wings don’t play again until Feb. 7 when they are home to play the Edmonton Oilers. With 34 games left to play, the Red Wings are seven points out of a wildcard playoff spot. The Pittsburgh Penguins (24-16-9) hold the last wildcard spot in the Eastern Conference. The Red Wings have a game in hand on the Penguins.
