Who wins in this fight ... A taco or a grilled cheese sandwich

@Corndogdreams @RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL @nytimes Imagine thinking for one second Guerin isn't done changing this roster to bring in a top 6 forward this summer

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@ericsco21322522 @Mark35099651024 @RussoHockey @JoeSmithNHL @nytimes He was going to get more as a free agent but go on.... keep rambling

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@CharlesMartel_3 @J_Starseed444 @BR_OpenIce @HeleneStJames Should have done a limited NTC in comparison, then. Yzerman gave him that power and complaining that Larkin is exercising his right to do so is crazy.

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@UTDKeanoo @UtdXclusive Weird response my guy

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@313Hockey @ProjctRated @NathanGraviteh Minnesota can easily make other trades to facilitate this.
Gus. Yurov. Stramel. 2027 1st. All pieces that they can ship to get the needed assets. Detroit won't get paid in full regardless because of this mismanagement

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@NathanGraviteh If Detroit wanted to avoid this situation they could have paid him 2m extra per season to not have the NTC or offer 4 less years and he'd be leaving as a UFA.
I cant comprehend how anyone blames Larkin for Yzerman's continual failures

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@_HockeyTonk Crazy how fans blame him that he took a team friendly contract saving Detroit millions for a NTC in return. and now wants out after Yzerman project clearly isn't working. Why should Larkin spend his entire career golfing?

Actually insane to defend the Red Wings front office

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@CharlesMartel_3 @J_Starseed444 @BR_OpenIce @HeleneStJames GMs never had to accept the NTC in negotiations either. Its really that simple.
He's been on a very team friendly contract for a reason - high years, lower aav, always comes with a NTC. Otherwise the price goes up 20%

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@redblue325 @frank_seravalli Dallas is obviously on the decline (Stanley Cup window over but they'll be in the playoffs) and they don't have one of his best friends - Hughes. His other choices offer warm weather and tax breaks.

Hope this helps

@BlueInNC16 @OhNyquist Guerin isn't in the business of making insulting trade offers. It'd be a 3 way trade when its all said and done

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@BigFudge734 @OhNyquist Sure but Guerin will get him the trade he wants by involving another team as needed.

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@LovelyRipley @OhNyquist Almost every team has the assets, one way or the other. Still don't know why he'd go to Montreal vs other teams if he had to chose, and pay a higher tax rate.

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@LovelyRipley @OhNyquist Detroit would trade him there? Doubtful

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@julians_world @AdamSchefter I'm sure your outrage posts for the Jets, 49ers and others is well documented.. or do you prefer they sell the team so its PR is clean for you... pussy

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@WestHam_Central Celebrating transfer fees while being relegated... crazy fall off

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@Dyl1111520 @othockeytalk True but if Larkin pushes for only Minnesota then Detroit's hands could be tied a bit. I doubt Guerin would screw anyone over as its a league built on respect but I could see Billy doing a 3 way trade and moving draft picks to get Detroit what they need and us retaining Ek

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@Dyl1111520 @othockeytalk I don't disagree that its possible... would think more in line for Mathews than Larkin. Regardless, I'm not against it but Ek and Larkin isn't a massive gap

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@Dyl1111520 @othockeytalk Don't see Ek as trade bait tbh... Hartman, Yurov, 2027 1st and potentially Gus

[Mike 〽️ @UtdExcellence]

@othockeytalk @Dyl1111520 @NathanGraviteh Minnesota has that as well and are able to move several pieces for a #1 center. Guerin will not be shy and no matter what Detroit won't get fair value if Larkin doesn't let this become a bidding war
