Gary Bettman addresses Dylan Larkin's trade request and no-trade clauses

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman criticized the use of no-trade clauses alongside trade requests during a recent statement. While he did not mention Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin by name, his situation exemplifies the complex dynamics involved. Larkin has requested a trade despite having years left on his contract and has considerable control over his potential destinations. Bettman indicated that this trend could create challenges for both players and teams. The Red Wings are reportedly seeking a younger impact center in any trade for Larkin amid this ongoing situation.
