Wild Seen As Larkin Front-Runner With McCarron Extended

Minnesota is being linked to Dylan Larkin at a time when the rumor mill is starting to heat up in a hurry. At the same time, McCarron’s long-term deal gives the Wild some stability, and that contrast is exactly what makes the offseason conversation interesting. Teams can dream on a splashy addition while quietly locking in the supporting pieces that keep the roster from wobbling. The Wild are walking that line now, and the stakes rise fast when a top target enters the picture.
