Five players who could use a change of scenery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Matt Larkin of Day by day Faceoff<\/strong><\/a>: A have a look at the highest five players who could use a change of scenery for next season.<\/p>\n

Kent Johnson \u2013 Columbus Blue Jackets \u2013 The 23-year-old left-winger and former first-round pick found himself as a healthy scratch at times down the stretch. Buying low.<\/p>\n

Jordan Kyrou \u2013 St. Louis Blues \u2013 28-year-old has an $8.125 million cap hit, and only put up 18 goals last season. Had 4 years before that, with between 27 and 37 goals.<\/p>\n

Mason McTavish \u2013 Anaheim Geese \u2013 Six more years at $7 million, and was a healthy scratch within the playoffs a few times. Still only 23-years-old.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Islanders, Senators, and the Penguins<\/p>\n

Simon Nemec \u2013 Latest Jersey Devils \u2013 How will recent GM Sunny Mehta view the pending RFA.<\/p>\n

Shane Wright \u2013 Seattle Kraken \u2013 Has one-year left on his entry-level deal and the Kraken are searching for a top-six forward. Averaged 17 goals per 82 games in his first two seasons on just 13:40 of TOI.<\/p>\n

The Dylan Larkin trade request and musings of who could possibly be interested<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Vince Z. Mercogliano<\/strong><\/a>: From the Latest York Rangers perspective on Dylan Larkin\u2019s trade request.<\/p>\n

It will be an actual surprise if the Rangers didn\u2019t call the Red Wings about Larkin. Consider the Rangers have inquired before, and it might be a giant swing they may have a look at for his or her retool.<\/p>\n

The Rangers were last within the Eastern Conference, so would he waive his no-movement clause for them.<\/p>\n

Would Vincent Trocheck and a first-round pick (No. 26) get Yzerman\u2019s attention? The No. 5 pick seems a bit much.<\/p>\n

Larkin\u2019s trade request impacts any Trocheck talks as Larkin is three years younger and is best offensively.<\/p>\n

Who Could possibly be in on Detroit Red Wings Dylan Larkin? Who Makes Sense?<\/p>\n

Jason Gregor<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cDylan Larkin for Mat Barzal as major pieces in a trade? Larkin for MacTavish and more?<\/p>\n

A lot of teams may have interest in Larkin. He has five years remaining at $8.7m. He has scored 30-34 goals each of the past five seasons. Fascinating name suddenly in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Irfaan Gaffar<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cLots of talk concerning the Wild and Canadiens make sense for Larkin. LA needs a centre, and the 2 people running each teams have a excellent relationship. Now, where does Larkin need to go stays the largest query. Full NTC.\u201d<\/p>\n

David Pagnotta<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cWith all of the speculation over Dylan Larkin\u2019s potential landing spot, you will have to wonder concerning the Vegas Golden Knights being a destination he\u2019d need to go. Larkin is nice friends with Jack Eichel. Can VGK pull this off after the Cup Final?\u201d<\/p>\n
