Ducks Look Like the Cleanest Larkin Trade Fit

Anaheim keeps showing up in the kind of rumor that front offices do not float unless there is real smoke behind it. Dylan Larkin is the sort of player every serious team covets, but the Ducks have the cap flexibility, timeline, and appetite for a swing that make them stand out. That does not mean a deal is easy or even likely, because Detroit would have to be convinced to move a cornerstone and Anaheim would have to pay the kind of price that hurts.
