Source - Red Wings' Dylan Larkin stretches trade list to 10 teams - ESPN
Key Points:
- Dylan Larkin has expanded his list of preferred trade destinations to 10 NHL teams as the Detroit Red Wings seek to move him following his trade request, according to an NHL source.
- Larkin, who has a no-trade clause and is in the fourth year of an eight-year, $69.6 million contract, initially agreed to waive his trade protection for three teams but has now added seven more teams to his list.
- The additional teams Larkin is willing to join include the Carolina Hurricanes, Colorado Avalanche, Dallas Stars, New Jersey Devils, Tampa Bay Lightning, Utah Mammoth, and Washington Capitals; however, he is not interested in a trade to a Canadian team.
- Larkin, the Red Wings' former captain and No. 1 center, has played his entire NHL career in Detroit, ranks 10th in franchise history with 646 points, and has experienced significant team struggles, with Detroit missing the playoffs in 10 of his 11 seasons.
- The trade request followed reported tensions with Detroit management, coinciding with a change in general managers, and despite fan interest from teams like the Montreal Canadiens, Larkin remains focused on U.S.-based teams.
