Overview
- Tuesday coverage shows Larkin remains with the Red Wings and active in the lineup while trade talks have stalled because his 10-team no-trade list currently blocks some interested clubs.
- Multiple outlets report Detroit is pressing for immediate NHL-ready players or top prospects in any Larkin deal, a posture made possible by Larkin’s $8.7 million annual cap hit that reduces Detroit’s urgency.
- Elliotte Friedman and other insiders say Larkin could alter his approved-destination list, a move that would materially change which teams can lawfully complete a trade for him.
- Separately, Detroit’s young defenseman Simon Edvinsson is drawing serious interest from several clubs, with Sportsnet reporting San Jose made a substantive offer that Detroit rejected.
- For Montreal, coverage says the Canadiens remain interested despite being excluded, but they face a costly choice between trading top prospects to pursue Larkin or targeting younger centers as cheaper, longer-term fits.
