Summary

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has requested a trade, providing a list of three preferred teams: Florida, Minnesota, and Vegas. This move was confirmed by a source to the Associated Press. Larkin, who has not participated in the playoffs for the past decade, has five years remaining on his contract, which carries an annual cap hit of $8.7 million.
