Canadiens, Red Wings report hints Dylan Larkin trade could happen behind his back

The Montreal Canadiens believe they hold the assets needed to complete a trade for Dylan Larkin but face challenges in moving forward. Larkin has reportedly excluded all Canadian teams from his preferred destinations and has not been included on the Red Wings' trade list. The Canadiens may need to negotiate with Detroit and present an offer to Larkin if he becomes dissatisfied with waiting.
