ESPN analyst John Buccigross indicated on the Frankly Hockey podcast that the Detroit Red Wings will likely trade center Dylan Larkin within the next seven to ten days. Larkin, who has been a central figure for the team since his rookie season, publicly requested a trade in June. General manager Shawn Horcoff aims to avoid a rebuild, suggesting any trade would return a player of Larkin's caliber rather than prospects. The Red Wings, currently 3-3-2, also face concurrent issues with top defender Simon Edvinsson, who remains unsigned and is at risk of missing the season.

- •Horcoff has no plans for a rebuild, indicating a star-for-star trade.
- •Red Wings are 3-3-2 and tied for last in the Atlantic Division.
