Overview
- Reports published Oct. 23–25 say Detroit has rejected multiple offers and is holding out for what an insider described as a “triple” or “home run” return.
- Dylan Larkin remains with the Red Wings and in the lineup while trade talks continue, and he has expanded his list of approved destinations to 10 teams.
- Larkin’s contract runs through 2030–31 at an $8.7 million cap hit and he holds a full no-trade clause, which limits which teams can complete a deal.
- Minnesota has been the most active suitor but its package that centered on prospect Danila Yurov was judged insufficient by Detroit.
- Salary-cap limits mean most interested clubs must move or retain significant salary to fit Larkin, and Detroit’s scouting of additional teams including Montreal could change the market if a richer offer appears.
