Dylan Larkin trade speculation links him to Devils, Stars and other NHL clubs

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has been the focus of extensive trade speculation. Multiple NHL teams have shown interest, including the New Jersey Devils, Dallas Stars, Vegas Golden Knights, Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks and Seattle Kraken. The Red Wings are reportedly still seeking trade packages, with the Stars having explored a deal involving Wyatt Johnston that did not progress, and a possible exchange of restricted‑free agent Jason Robertson that would require additional pieces.

Larkin carries a five‑year contract with an $8.7 million cap hit and is owed roughly $8 million over the next three seasons, with salaries declining in later years. He turned 30 on July 30. In parallel, veteran winger Patrick Kane is also a free‑agency subject, with rumors of a possible return to the Chicago Blackhawks and links to the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs.
