Dylan Larkin trade talks stall as Red Wings receive no offers

Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, 29, submitted a trade request a month ago, limiting his destination list to the Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights. He has not expanded that list, and none of the three teams have presented offers that satisfy Detroit’s demand for “value‑now” players.

General manager Steve Yzerman insists the Red Wings will only trade Larkin for elite, NHL‑ready assets, while insiders note Minnesota would need to include Matt Boldy and Vegas faces cap constraints despite a recent minor trade with Detroit. Larkin’s contract carries an $8.7 million cap hit through 2031, giving Detroit leverage but leaving the market narrow.

Other rumors link the stalemate to possible moves by veteran Patrick Kane, who is said to be weighing a shift to the Buffalo Sabres, but the central story remains Larkin’s unresolved trade status as the offseason progresses toward training camp.
