Red Wings consider Moritz Seider and Alex DeBrincat for captaincy

The Detroit Red Wings continue the season without a captain following the suspension of Dylan Larkin. After Larkin's trade request, which he formalized in June, the team suspended him without pay, valuing him at roughly $41,000 lost daily. In a recent game, Detroit defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1, with Moritz Seider assisting on a goal and Alex DeBrincat contributing to three. Both players have emerged as candidates for the captaincy with Seider viewed as a top prospect due to his consistent performance and leadership potential, while DeBrincat's recent contract extension adds weight to his candidacy. The Red Wings are not hasty in naming a new captain despite their successful run of points in eight of their last nine games.
