The Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings are at the heart of one of the biggest trade stories of the NHL offseason. Dallas could look to move restricted free agent winger Jason Robertson, reports have suggested, while Detroit continues to evaluate the future of captain Dylan Larkin after reports that he asked for a trade earlier this summer.There is no deal yet, but speculation has increased because both players are still in situations that could affect their respective franchises before training camp starts. The potential for a blockbuster trade has also started a conversation around the league as front offices continue to evaluate the deals of the offseason.<\/p>\n

Jason Robertson for Dylan Larkin blockbuster gains momentum between Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings
<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

A potential Jason Robertson-for-Dylan Larkin trade would answer big questions on the roster for both teams, but there are still some hurdles to clear before that could happen.Robertson, who just finished his deal with the Dallas Stars, is a restricted free agent. Reports suggest the two sides don\u2019t have a long-term extension agreement in place, leading to speculation the Stars may trade him rather than risk further uncertainty.The 26-year-old has become one of the NHL\u2019s most reliable offensive contributors, which makes him a desirable target for clubs looking for top-end scoring. But Dallas also has to balance the commitments it has made against the salary cap, while maintaining a roster good enough to compete for the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

Why Dylan Larkin Remains a Trade Target
<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Dylan Larkin is signed with the Detroit Red Wings, but there were reports earlier this offseason that he requested a trade. Detroit general manager Steve Yzerman has shown no urgency to get a deal done, but Larkin\u2019s reported willingness to play in Dallas has fueled speculation around the Stars.Detroit’s captain, solid two-way center Larkin, would be an important piece for Dallas if negotiations ever get beyond the rumor stage.<\/p>\n

Could another NHL team become involved?
<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

League sources have also discussed the possibility of a three-team framework, rather than a straight one-for-one trade. There have been rumors that the Pittsburgh Penguins could get involved if Dallas and Detroit have trouble finding trade value, as the Penguins have been linked with Jason Robertson interest on a few occasions.There have been reports Detroit may want more than just Robertson in return and Dallas reportedly has been reluctant to include other core young players in talks. A multi-team deal could help each club address its priorities, if talks heat up.<\/div>\n
