Dylan Larkin expands trade list, Red Wings consider lineup changes
Summary

Reports indicate that Dylan Larkin has broadened his trade request to eight teams, potentially impacting the Detroit Red Wings' lineup before the season opener. Coach Todd McLellan confirmed that Larkin will miss the final preseason game due to an upper body injury. If Larkin's injury persists into the regular season, players Nate Danielson and Carter Mazur could secure forward spots. The team is also dealing with defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker's absence due to an upper body injury, which may lead to retaining additional defensemen. The deadline for final roster decisions approaches as the Red Wings prepare for their opening night.
