Dylan Larkin has expanded the list of teams he’d accept a trade to, and the pattern is obvious: contenders in the lower 48. Nick Zararis (Locked On Oilers) and Hunter Hodies (Locked On Penguins) go through the Washington Capitals, Utah Mammoth, New Jersey Devils, Dallas Stars, Minnesota Wild, and the rest of the reported destinations. They look at why the Detroit Red Wings are holding out for a win-now return like the Pierre-Luc Dubois for Gabe Vilardi trade instead of picks and prospects. They also cover Detroit’s decade-long playoff drought, its struggles developing high draft picks, and how the Simon Edvinsson situation could tie into a Larkin deal. Is Dylan Larkin a true number one center on a Stanley Cup contender, or the best second-line center available? Nick lays out a striking stat: Larkin has played 815 regular-season NHL games but only five playoff games. That’s fewer than the six he played for Team USA at the Milan Olympics. The guys rank Larkin against the top centers on each contender on his list and explain why he may have been miscast as a franchise 1C in Detroit. In the middle segment, the New York Rangers dominated the Anaheim Ducks on Monday night with relentless forechecking and forced turnovers. Nick and Hunter break down how Mike Sullivan’s system is getting buy-in from Will Cuylle, J.T. Miller, Noah Laba, and Oliver Bjorkstrand. They also cover Alexis Lafrenière’s hot start (7 goals, 13 points in 11 games), Gabe Perreault’s emergence, and Dylan Garand’s strong goaltending with Igor Shesterkin out. Can the Rangers keep winning this way over a full season and push for a playoff spot? The episode closes on the art of the revenge game ahead of Brady Tkachuk’s first trip back to Ottawa as a member of the Florida Panthers. Nick revisits John Tavares’ return to Long Island, Jack Eichel’s homecoming in Buffalo, and why this Senators fan base has every reason to be angry. Hunter explains why Panthers vs. Senators is a big early-season Atlantic Division game even without the Tkachuk storyline 01:24 Dylan Larkin Trade Destinations06:54 Detroit Red Wings Rebuild Issues11:18 Rangers Forecheck & Defensive Play19:42 Revenge Game & Hate Watch Discussion Dylan Larkin Expanded Trade List REVEALED + Rangers Are For Real?
