What happened: The Athletic's NHL Trade Board now lists Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin as a new name atop its rankings. Among the Calgary Flames, Blake Coleman remains the only player featured on the board.

Why it matters: Coleman's continued presence keeps the veteran forward in trade conversations as Calgary weighs its direction. Larkin's placement at the top reflects shifting expectations around Detroit's captain and signals one of the offseason's higher-profile names entering the rumor mill.

What to watch: Watch whether either name advances from board speculation to a formal deal as the offseason market develops.
