Larkin's Trade List Sends A Clear Message To Yzerman

Dylan Larkin handing over a trade list is not the kind of detail teams toss around unless the situation is already serious. Steve Yzerman now has the sort of information that usually forces a front office to stop guessing and start choosing. The telling part is not just who is on the list, but what the list says about where this relationship stands right now. In the NHL, once the paperwork starts talking, the silence usually means the conversation has already gone very far.
