It seems like the Blues will likely have to sell low on Kyrou. With him having a no-trade clause, any guesses where he might say “yes” to? — Ben D. “I believe the New York Islanders are a team that he would OK a deal to. But are they interested?” #isles

#Isles are one of the teams that could be of interest to Larkin
Dylan Larkin holds power in where he lands, but the Detroit Red Wings have bargaining power, too. freep.com/story/sports/nhl/r…

#Isles offseason outlook: • Schaefer emerging as a franchise cornerstone
 • Tight cap situation with major roster decisions ahead
 • Barzal remains a real trade candidate
 • Palat & Mayfield buyouts could open needed cap space
The #Isles need help up front for Matthew Schaefer. But with cap issues and some key UFAs, it's going to require some bold moves by GM Mathieu Darche. puckpedia.com/news/2026-27-n…

“Trading Barzal would require a knock-the-socks-off pitch; he’d leave a pretty big hole in their top six, and he has significant control over his destination with 22 teams vetoed. By the way, he’s a fluent French speaker. Just felt like stating that fact for no reason at all.”

Notes: #isles • Teams keep calling on Mat Barzal. • Islanders aren’t shopping him, but interest is still there due to a weak free-agent market. • Kyrou talks could resurface as the Isles look to add speed/skill up front; a futures deal for Barzal isn’t likely.
Dylan Larkin may not be the only big-name center whose name is in the rumor mill! 😳 @TheFourthPeriod talks the latest rumors surrounding a New York Islanders star. 📺: #NHLTonight on NHL Network

I do believe that Bjorck could drop to us in the draft mostly due to his height which was the same reason that Eklund dropped to us, if he’s available I would take him #isles

Dylan Larkin has submitted a list of where he would like the Detroit Red Wings to trade him. It's only three teams long, and may need to expand. Details here: freep.com/story/sports/nhl/r…

“It was status quo on the Anders Lee front as of Friday. As I reported earlier this week, it’s most likely that the pending unrestricted free agent will head to market on July 1.” #isles

#isles listening on Barzal
A few more thoughts on #Isles/Barzal and #NYR/Larkin as the rumor mill gets churning: -- Talked to a couple folks who might know and it sounds as if #Isles are willing to listen but not being aggressive on Barzal. Not sure what that means exactly, but I'd guess two places that might interest Barzal -- SEA and VAN -- could put offers together. Lotta ifs. -- As for #NYR, I'd wager GMCD has had at least one chat with Yzerman about Larkin. If this is as far along as it seemed with the reports earlier, there's been talks going for a bit. All in Larkin's hands with a full no move, but he's exactly what the #NYR would want at the moment. -- Is Larkin what they need? Especially if you have to give up a decent prospect plus other things to get it done? Hard to say, but if there's a big-name top-6 player available, they'll be taking a swing. Book it. -- More chatter will be spilling out post-combine. That's the only place GMs are face to face anymore ahead of the draft, so could be some trade stuff in the works.
