NHL Rumors: Bruins Want Larkin, Kraken Like Nikishin, Wild Open to Malkin

The Boston Bruins are reportedly attempting to persuade Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin to include them on his 10-team trade list, though Larkin's camp currently believes Detroit can arrange a permanent deal with one of his approved teams. Meanwhile, the Seattle Kraken have emerged as a potential trade suitor for Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Alexander Nikishin, who signed a one-year, $3 million contract in October.

In addition, the Minnesota Wild are reportedly interested in Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin if he becomes available. While Pittsburgh has no immediate trade plans, Malkin must submit a three-team trade list in January, and Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin reportedly has interest if Malkin approves a move.
