Canadiens Reportedly Ready to Pay a Premium for Dylan Larkin

The Montreal Canadiens want a second-line center to play behind Nick Suzuki, and Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin appears to be their top target. According to insider Frank Seravalli, the Habs are prepared to pursue him aggressively if the opportunity arises. Speaking on Frankly Hockey, Seravalli said Montreal has stayed very interested in Larkin and, according to sources, has tried to persuade him to waive his no-trade clause. So far, that has been a non-starter. But Seravalli wonders whether Larkin’s most recent trip to the Bell Centre could change his thinking.
