Bill Guerin won’t say if Wild offered Danila Yurov for Dylan Larkin

Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin declined to say Thursday whether he had offered forward Danila Yurov to the Detroit Red Wings in a potential deal for centre Dylan Larkin.

Guerin addressed the report on WCCO’s The Chad Hartman Show after Hartman urged him to keep Yurov. Guerin acknowledged the reports but said only Detroit knew what he had offered. He did not confirm that Yurov was part of an offer.

Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman previously reported that Yurov was believed to be in the mix for a Larkin deal. Daily Faceoff separately reported that Yurov’s name had come up in discussion of a possible Minnesota package.

Guerin also praised Yurov’s play at both ends of the ice. The Wild selected the forward 24th overall in the 2022 NHL Draft.
