If not Minnesota, Vegas has been the second-most mentioned team for Larkin. The Knights would have to trade some players to the Red Wings, but they could pounce on the opportunity with the Wild unable to close the deal.”Sportsnaut’s Austin Konenski added, “Meanwhile, the Dallas Stars are another ideal landing spot.
