Utah Mammoth target Detroit’s captain Dylan Larkin as the franchise centerpiece—but is the price too steep? Tom Callahan and Robyn Leaño debate what a blockbuster trade package might look like to bring Larkin to Utah, weighing prospects Caleb Desnoyers, Dmitry Simishev, and top-nine forwards like Lawson Crouse or J.J. Peterka against the move’s long-term impact. The hosts break down Utah’s current roster, Detroit’s potential need for a retool or rebuild, and the tricky landscape of no-trade clauses. They examine whether Mammoth should risk top prospects or critical draft picks to finally lock down a true 1C. With Utah’s playoff window seemingly opening, does adding Larkin push them into contender status—or leave too many holes elsewhere?
