What happened: Following Jason Robertson's signing, another potential destination has been removed from the trade market for Dylan Larkin. Florida and Vegas have also reportedly moved on from pursuing the forward.

Why it matters: The shrinking list of suitors complicates the organization's options for resolving its ongoing situation with Larkin. With prime destinations addressing their needs elsewhere, uncertainty surrounds whether he will retain his leadership role or be moved.

What to watch: Management will need to clarify their plans regarding his future as the offseason progresses.
