Sabres reportedly bid for Larkin; he won’t waive

Detroit has received a substantial offer for captain Dylan Larkin from a team outside his approved trade list, but he has not agreed to waive his no-movement clause. Buffalo has reportedly made a strong offer and is pressing to get added to his list, though reporting indicates Larkin is unwilling to move there for now; analysts also caution that the Sabres’ interest does not mean a deal is likely. Minnesota has emerged in speculative trade proposals built around young forward Danila Yurov, veteran players and multiple first-round picks, a package that could appeal to Detroit but would cost the Wild heavily. The reports underscore that Larkin’s preferences, rather than a shortage of interested teams or potential assets, remain a central obstacle to a trade.
