Steve Yzerman's Wyatt Johnston ask Says Everything | Dylan Larkin Trade Update | Red Wings News

Description Steve Yzerman has reportedly asked the Dallas Stars for Wyatt Johnston in exchange for Dylan Larkin, and while many fans will view that as an unrealistic request, I think it sends a very clear message. After Dylan Larkin reportedly expanded his trade list to include the Dallas Stars, many believed negotiations could finally move forward. Instead, Detroit's asking price immediately became a major obstacle. Wyatt Johnston is younger, under team control, and has already produced a higher offensive ceiling than Larkin, making him an unlikely piece for Dallas to move. So why make the ask? In this video, I discuss what I believe Steve Yzerman is trying to communicate. The Red Wings aren't looking to make a trade simply because one has been requested. If Detroit is going to move its captain, the return has to make the team better now and in the future. Otherwise, there may not be a deal to make. We'll break down: Dylan Larkin adding Dallas to his trade list Why Wyatt Johnston was likely a non-starter What Steve Yzerman's asking price tells us Why negotiations may still be at a complete standstill What this means for the Detroit Red Wings moving forward What do you think? Was Yzerman's ask simply a negotiating tactic, or is he making it clear that he won't compromise on value? #LGRW #RedWings #DetroitRedWings #DylanLarkin #SteveYzerman #NHLTradeRumors #WyattJohnston #DallasStars #NHL #HockeyNews #RedWingsNews #NHLRumors
