The Minnesota Wild are exploring the trade of forward Yakov Trenin to gain cap flexibility ahead of July 1, as they pursue Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, who has an $8.7MM cap hit. Trenin, who has a $3.5MM AAV and primarily plays a bottom-six role, has provided physicality but limited scoring, with just 38 points in 158 games. His contract is slightly front-loaded, making him an appealing option for teams with available cap space. Without trade protection, Trenin may be moved this summer if the Wild make significant roster changes.
