What Happened
Detroit forward Dylan Larkin has broadened his preferred trade destinations to a group of ten NHL organizations. According to reporting from Helene St. James of The Detroit Free Press, the former team captain initially limited his preferred destinations to three franchises when he requested a move during the spring. Trade talks stalled following the July 15 removal of former general manager Steve Yzerman while the club sought a new hockey operations leader. Shawn Horcoff assumed the role of interim general manager in September. A transaction has not materialized because Detroit insists on acquiring immediate roster contributors rather than focusing on future assets such as draft selections and prospects. Larkin has appeared in six games this season, producing one goal and three points after missing the training camp due to an upper-body injury.
