I don't know about you, but personally, I'm really looking forward to the Dylan Larkin saga coming to an end, so we can finally find out where the Red Wings forward will continue his career.

With the Connor Hellebuyck situation having been resolved on Friday, all eyes are now on Larkin, who still hasn't been traded, despite requesting a trade earlier this summer.

I want to remind everyone that winter is fast approaching, and Larkin is still a member of the Wings.

What makes this situation complex is the short list of teams to which Larkin would agree to be traded.

Obviously, the American center's list—which now stands at ten teams—still does not include any Canadian teams, and therefore does not include the Montreal Canadiens, who, as we know, are very interested.

Well, according to the latest reports, Larkin's list isn't likely to stop at ten teams.

In fact, according to Chris Johnston, if necessary, Larkin won't hesitate to expand his list beyond ten teams, as he's really keen on being traded soon if things don't work out with any of the current ten teams.

That's what Chris Johnston stated in the latest episode of his podcast available on YouTube, as the renowned insider says he's optimistic for the Canadiens in this situation.

Even though the Habs aren't on Larkin's list, Johnston sincerely believes that Montreal isn't a definitive “no” for the American forward, unlike the Philadelphia Flyers.

Obviously, Larkin won't add Montreal to his list tomorrow, but if necessary, Johnston sincerely believes Larkin would go so far as to add the Canadiens.

With Nick Suzuki's injury, acquiring Dylan Larkin would be a huge help and would clearly make the Habs a better team and an even stronger Stanley Cup contender.

In short, the rumors between Larkin and Montreal refuse to die down, especially with Kris Draper, the Red Wings' assistant general manager, who continues to watch the Habs' games.
