Dylan Larkin, currently suspended by the Detroit Red Wings, has indicated he does not want to be traded to the Buffalo Sabres. Despite the Sabres having the necessary assets for a deal, Larkin's limited trade list excludes Buffalo. Larkin is in the fourth year of an eight-year contract, forgoing significant salary during his suspension. The Sabres and Red Wings are tied in points and competing for the same playoff spot, making a trade within the division less likely. Discussions have taken place about his potential trade, but Larkin's preferences make it a complex situation.
- •Larkin has not included Buffalo on his 10-team trade list.
- •He is suspended without pay since October 29, 2026.
- •Sabres and Red Wings are tied with 17 points each in the Atlantic Division.
- •Trade discussions have occurred, but Larkin's list complicates progress.
- •Larkin's current contract has an annual cap hit of $8.7 million.
