Lineup Decision
The Red Wings decided to keep Dylan Larkin out of their game against the Blackhawks. Coach Todd McLellan confirmed the absence after the player took a maintenance day the prior session and skipped morning practice. Interim general manager Shawn Horcoff is expected to provide updates on the matter.
Contract and Demand Background
Larkin requested a trade back in June. His representatives have continued to press Detroit to complete a deal. The center remains under the fourth year of an eight-year contract worth $69.6 million with an average annual value of $8.7 million and holds a no-trade clause. He was stripped of the captaincy before reporting to training camp.
Interest and Performance
Several clubs remain involved in discussions, with the Minnesota Wild among the most active. Larkin has expanded his approved list to 10 teams and ruled out any Canadian destinations. Through 10 games with the Red Wings, who stand at 5-4-3, he has recorded two goals and four assists while averaging 21:41 of ice time. The 30-year-old, drafted 15th overall in 2014, has amassed 649 points in his entire career spent with Detroit.
