Moritz Seider emerges as top candidate for Red Wings captain

The Detroit Red Wings announced on September 11 that Dylan Larkin will no longer be the team captain, following his trade request over the summer. Training camp is set to begin for the 2026-27 season without a captain named. Moritz Seider, who has served as an alternate captain, is favored to take over the role. Seider, 25, has been a key player since his debut and has consistently demonstrated leadership skills, even captaining the German national team in recent World Championships. Discussions on the new captaincy will proceed once new hockey operations leadership is established.
