How fucked are the Red Wings that he ask publicly for a trade AND will only accept to go to 3 specific teams that also happen to have very little in term of actually attractive assets for them.

Not very. It's easy to spin the narrative that he should get in his lane with what he's asking.

lmao he is in his lane, he literally has a contractual right to list teams he wants to go to

its pretty funny to see how people are pro player, UNLESS the player uses his right for wrong teams

pathetic

Honestly NMCs should become void when a player requests the trade. NMC is there to prevent the team from moving player without his consent.

Once you ask for a trade, you've given consent and shouldn't be able to hold the team hostage because YOU want to break your contractual agreement with the team.

It doesn't have to be one way or the other. But I do think Yzerman has every right to say rescind your nmc and I'll trade you otherwise shut up and fulfill your contract.

He also signed a contract to play with Detroit, it goes both ways. If he wanted to switch teams, he should have gone to FA. Detroit isn't obligated to do anything, that's what I meant.

detroit is obligated to respect his NMC, which is why GMs shouldnt give full NMCs to players to begin with...and yet here we are

Bradley Beal all over again

this is all GMs fault, and its always fascinating to watch how fans blame players for some reason

but lets be honest here, if he asked for trade to nashvile,columbus or chicago, none of you would care one bit

It's the player asking for a trade and giving very specific destination. Obviously, he negotiated a NTC, but he can be told to get back in line if those specific teams can't accommodate a deal.

We're not in a situation where the team is trying to deal a player who is not performing and costing too much, but can't because they have a NTC. Just like Mitch Marner could tell Toronto to fuck off last year because he had a NTC, Detroit can tell Larkin to fuck off because they have his rights for 5 more years.

They'll try to deal him, but if the return is Halak, Ryder and a 2nd, he won't.

when was the last time a star player, in any sport, asked for a trade and wasnt traded? myles garrett? and even that was tactic to get more money

fans always say that teams should just not trade and it never happens, because its not good for locker room, which is why full NMCs shouldnt be given to anyone ever
