With the Dylan Larkin drama accelerating, it may be best for the Minnesota Wild to make a deal as soon as possible.
Writer Chris Schad argues that Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin's pursuit of a trade for Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin may be distracting the team following consecutive losses to the Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay Lightning. Detroit executives Kris Draper and Shawn Horcoff recently scouted Minnesota games, fueling speculation as the Wild's offense has struggled early in the season.
