Suspension Details
The Detroit Red Wings have suspended Dylan Larkin without pay after the 30-year-old informed the team he no longer wished to play for the organization. The move came hours after he missed morning skate and was held out of the lineup for trade-related reasons. Larkin will forfeit $41,000 a day in salary while the suspension remains in place.
Contract and Trade Context
Larkin is in the fourth year of an eight-year contract worth $8.7 million annually and holds a no-trade clause. The team stated it will continue to explore trade opportunities but noted that any deal requires his approval and must align with the organization's long-term goals. Larkin had requested a trade earlier and later expanded his list of preferred destinations.
Season Performance
The Michigan native, drafted in the first round in 2014, had already been stripped of the captaincy upon reporting to training camp. He missed the start of the season due to an upper-body injury but returned to record two goals and six points through 10 games. Larkin has reached at least 30 goals in six seasons and is pursuing a sixth straight campaign with more than 67 points. The Red Wings entered the day with a 5-4-3 record, three points behind Toronto for the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot.
