Oilers propose trade for Dylan Larkin, offering Matthew Savoie and prospects

Summary

The Edmonton Oilers have made a trade proposal to acquire Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, offering a package led by forward Matthew Savoie. Larkin's request for a trade has prompted discussions, and the Oilers aim to leverage Savoie, among other assets, to finalize a deal. With Larkin's contract set through 2030-31 and a full no-trade clause in place, the Red Wings face a complex decision about whether to accept the Oilers' offer, which also includes two prospects and a 2028 pick. Larkin has not publicly included Edmonton on his list of preferred destinations, adding another layer of uncertainty to the potential trade.
