Detroit Red Wings Captain Dylan Larkin Reportedly Requests Trade
Larkin has five seasons left on an $8.7 million AAV deal and can block a move to most teams for two more years.
- On Thursday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported that Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin requested a trade, holding a full no-trade clause for the next two seasons.
- Persistent playoff struggles prompted the decision, as the Red Wings have missed the postseason for 10 straight years, notably posting a 5-9-1 record in March after holding a playoff spot in February.
- A franchise cornerstone, Larkin has five seasons remaining on his $8.7 million AAV contract and ranks 10th in team history with 276 goals in 558 regular-season games.
- Interest in Larkin may come from clubs seeking top-six centers like the Minnesota Wild, Boston Bruins, Los Angeles Kings, Philadelphia Flyers, and Montreal Canadiens, with the Kings and Bruins needing replacements for Kopitar and Patrice Bergeron.
- His potential departure would leave the Red Wings in need of a new center, and with winger Patrick Kane hitting free agency, the move would trigger an overhaul of Detroit's top six.
