and if he says "i'll only go to minnesota" he can sit his happy ass at home and not get paid.

how do they not pay him? - he'll show up and suit up and then Mac can leave him in the pressbox but he'll still get paid.

Well, it was clear at the Olympics that the American boys wanted to team up. I didn’t think it would happen this way — I didn’t think Larkin would ever want to leave his hometown, or that he had the guts to ask for a trade — but I think it will turn out well for the Wings. I think it was LeBrun who said he expects a dozen teams to be in the mix. Lots of teams are right to believe that Larkin could be the missing piece. 

Yup. This can be Yzerman's  chance to give his rebuild a big momentum swing if he can make a good deal or three.

if he sits out in order to force a trade.

lebrun compared it to when yzerman traded marty st louis to his preferred destination.

And for some team he could be.  But not this team.   

This could be like the Stafford deal and help both teams.

Lots of interesting passages, including “They don’t speak unless they’ve had to, they haven’t for a while,” one agent said. “That’s kind of become common knowledge about the situation in Detroit. Steve and Larkin co-existed, but they didn’t get along at all, and that’s kind of been known by others for a bit now.”
