Red Wings propose trade sending Dylan Larkin to Capitals for Pierre-Luc Dubois

The Detroit Red Wings have proposed a trade that would send captain Dylan Larkin to the Washington Capitals in exchange for center Pierre-Luc Dubois, along with rookie Ilya Protas and two first-round picks in 2027 and 2028. This move follows Larkin's trade request and aims to address the Red Wings' challenging season after missing the playoffs for the tenth consecutive year. Larkin, a three-time All-Star, was stripped of his captaincy earlier this month. Dubois, a nine-year veteran, recorded a career-high 66 points last season and holds an $8.5 million cap hit. The trade would help the Red Wings gain additional assets and a potential replacement for Larkin.
