Red Wings Pause Dylan Larkin Trade Talks After Yzerman Resigns, Leaving 4-Team List for New GM

Summary
Dylan Larkin's trade process has effectively stalled after Steve Yzerman stepped down Wednesday, leaving Detroit without a GM to make a final call on the captain's request.
A new front-office chief is now expected to review the file from scratch, including the reported four teams Larkin would accept under his no-trade clause: Florida, Minnesota, Vegas and Dallas.
Yzerman had resisted moving Larkin at a discount, even after the trade request weakened Detroit's leverage by signaling to rivals that the Red Wings might eventually have to deal him.
That leaves the offseason in a holding pattern until Detroit hires a replacement, who could either maintain Yzerman's price or move quickly to end the standoff.
