00:05okay i will read this to you i don't have enough answers i can only offer you the following
00:13and this is per elliot friedman and sportsnet.ca because canadians are special and they refuse to
00:20use.com they got to be special dylan larkins requested a trade from the red wings
00:29now unfortunately while there's a ton to unpack here's some of the things that aren't there
00:38we do not have a comment from the player we do not have a comment from the agent
00:44and of course we don't have a comment from captain no and no now here's what's interesting per the
00:50report according to multiple sources larkin recently requested a trade from detroit here's
01:00what's interesting recently could be days it could be a week could be a month no no i don't know
01:09now
01:09you're bordering on recent but work with me if a player of that stature there's only so many team
01:15captains in the league requests a trade only in only in poverty hockey could it be kept a secret
01:22for you know 72 hours or something but you know what mike imagine like joe burrow requests a trade
01:32wait the words i want to be trade he wouldn't have got into the ed of traded before adam schefter
01:40popped out of a manhole cover and it'd be like right ian rapoport's alarm goes off burrow
01:47wands out bing bong so look here's what elliot freedman has to say you do what you want a lot
01:55to unpack no one would comment but larkin's involvement in the trade market is massive he
02:01has a full no trade clause both this year and next so his control over the situation doesn't change
02:07july 1 he's a top line center in the league no he's not so there's going to be a ton
02:14of interest
02:15yes there will his play at the four nations and olympics was stellar that'll excite trade partners
02:23what needs to be determined is where he's willing to go because no one will talk we can only guess
02:29at
02:29the rationale but there appear to be two critical factors this is where it gets good and i hearken
02:38we keep the street going all right we're hearkening do you remember when he hit eiserman with a bus two
02:45years ago at the deadline yeah the guys in the room were devastated there were tears all around i had
02:52to buy a team puppy to cheer guys up we didn't get no help then eiserman ran him over with
02:58a bus
02:58okay hit him with the chair so detroit's inability to make the playoffs and a quote somewhat frosty
03:06relationship between the captain and the team's top hockey executive it's another sign of how the league
03:12is changing players are getting bolder with the requests there's also the eiserman factor he won't be
03:20bullied into any scenario he dislikes really does he dislike the longest playoff drought in the league
03:26the walls are caving in on this guy think about this the best thing the only thing you inherited from
03:36holland has asked out arguably your best player albeit flawed arguably your best player now eiserman
03:46who he's above it all he's on his ivory tower right now a guy who has a full no trade
03:56i demand to be traded eiserman is what's his leverage you're gonna keep a guy who says i don't
04:03want to be here and essentially elliot friedman says the quiet part out loud that we've talked about
04:09like him and eiserman or oil and water oh it's delicious and he's willing to waive the no trade
04:15so you can't like well it's gonna be hard to move him no it's not he's saying i'll wave that
04:21clause get me the hell out i want look the funniest part i love when things like this happen
04:27only 10 of this is being right 90 of it is absolute spite for the people who just bitch at
04:38us
04:38you don't know puck he's not getting traded gobbled to you cool saying people who also said
04:45miles garrick and i know right i know guys what do you make of it i will lose no sleep
04:51i actually
04:52think dylan larkin's doing us a favor because this either gets eiserman fired or it sparks this team
04:57both outcomes are fine by me i don't care anymore but i would i just i don't care i'm done
05:04there's
05:04i can't do anything else they have the longest playoff drought in the league i don't care
05:11vegas has been the three stanley cups hurtful but it's true it just either he gets dealt and it
05:19sparks a rebuild and eiserman's fired and we can just move on for the sake of moving on or
05:27something materially changes here a new captain arises a new voice maybe a level of accountability
05:34where it's like look somehow maybe you convince toronto to make a trade
05:40oh baby larkin plus plus plus plus plus plus for uh austin matthews yeah yeah i do that heartbeat
05:46the problem is larkin gets to control where he wants to go that's going to complicate things
05:52but are we allowed to summon the hockey elite on june 4th what do you make of elliot friedman's
05:59report that dylan larkin has requested a trade he has a full no trade eiserman won't get bullied
06:07i actually like the fact that this is happening based on i'm so exhausted by the wings and i feel
06:14like the universe needs to force this organization to change and i think that's what's happening i'm good
06:20with it dylan larkin went from somebody who was a target of my animus to maybe my favorite player
06:25i hope more players want trades can i get a report of more wings wanting trades more most cider wants
06:31a deal only way it gets better because i'm done this rebuild sucks this rebuild is going at a snail's
06:40pace
06:40there are glaciers moving in antarctica faster than this
06:48david
06:51this is juicy guys um this is what i'll say um i'm intrigued now i'm intrigued about everything
07:00detroit red wings because you're right steve eisenman could be as stubborn as he wants
07:05but you're just going to keep the guy on your roster because you don't like it or you don't like
07:11the the return that you may be getting you have to trade him if he's requesting this trade you have
07:17to get rid of him and i think that now moves this team into a full rebuild in my mind
07:21full rebuild which
07:23means how can you keep steve eisenman around here when it's been now eight years it just wow this is
07:30a
07:30juicy offseason for me now i love it more players need to demand trades yes i agree see the only
07:37problem with that though fellas does that mean eisenman gets to make the trade
07:45what do you mean because david's saying the full rebuild you got to get rid of eisenman
07:50so no no you don't no you don't no no according to what david was saying what's your what's your
07:55comic book phrase a hero stays around long enough to become the villain this is delicious
08:01oh man this is delicious either you die a hero or you live long enough to be the villain good
08:07well guess what stevie on line three i love it no and no okay cool
08:20eisenman's gonna be like thanos having that solo barbecue on planet nebular at the end of that
08:24god awful movie you made me watch what did it cost you everything you came back to run the wings
08:29what
08:30did it cost you everything are the sausages done because you are it's a great movie by the way i
08:37just
08:37you're not gonna compare you're not gonna compare infinity war to the eiser plan right no you don't get to
08:44do that avengers eiser plan no when is that being produced that means that all of a sudden stevie's
08:50gonna have to say uh red wings assemble and then the problem is none of them would have special
08:55abilities where they go it would just be a group of plumbers trying to save earth at 16 goals a
09:00year
09:002 4 8 5 3 9 97 it shouldn't be funny but it is what else do we have but
09:07laughter we have to laugh
09:10no and no no there's nothing but laughter or you cry right think about it after seven you we're
09:18gonna enter year eight of the eiser plan your reward is no playoffs but if you hit the total reboot
09:25does he get to reboot the team sure okay the reboot of the reboot so he gets eight more years
09:33that's the
09:34point i don't care anymore okay he could have 80 okay i don't care and then the day he actually
09:40turns
09:40it around at age 73 and and he looks like lou lamarillo so at that and people try to cape
09:47up
09:47going see it worked i get to i get to laugh in their face i think then the only thing
09:52that would
09:52make this sweeter if all of a sudden you know the the kraken win you know three stanley cups in
09:58the next
09:58eight years shout out seattle all right 248-539-9797 you can keep calling in on kirby joseph too we're
10:09having a larkin conversation because to me this is beautiful it's a gift eiserman probably didn't
10:17have the chops to pull the move anyways so now larkin forces his hand what did we talk about we
10:23want to
10:23shake up yeah well it's shake and bake and i helped dylan larkin has demanded a trade sweet go get
10:32me
10:32austin matthews i'm not i'm not no no hyperbole larkin plus cosa plus plus plus this could be what
10:42turns it all around i'm done with larkin i think austin matthews wants out so yeah maybe you know
10:48one of those dirty americans is your captain it's a win-win signed elitist canadians
10:54we're gonna get to the people it's just so exciting
