Dylan Larkin Seeks Trade From Red Wings, Naming 3 Preferred Teams

3 articles · Updated · New York Post · Jun 9

Summary

  • Dylan Larkin has asked Detroit to trade him and submitted Steve Yzerman a three-team list: Minnesota, Vegas and Florida.
  • The request reshapes the NHL center market, with the report saying Larkin now eclipses Rangers center Vincent Trocheck as the top available option.
  • Larkin holds unusual leverage because his no-move clause covers the next two seasons, giving the 29-year-old captain broad control over any destination.
  • Detroit drafted the Michigan native 15th overall in 2014 and made him captain at 24, making a split from his hometown team a major break for the franchise.
