The Red Wings need to address scoring shortages and could seek to trade Larkin to secure a first-round pick, essential for their roster needs this summer. Ongoing discussions indicate that Alex DeBrincat's decision to re-sign may hinge on how these changes unfold, particularly if Kane does not return.
