What happened: Kevin Kurz reported Philadelphia's inquiry ended before the clubs discussed players. The Detroit Red Wings captain remains with the club entering the 2026-27 preseason.
Why it matters: Larkin's full no-movement clause gives him control over any destination. Detroit has yet to find acceptable value from a team he would approve, narrowing its options before the season.
By the numbers: Larkin has five years remaining on a contract carrying an $8.7 million annual cap hit.
What to watch: Watch whether Larkin broadens his acceptable destinations or reports to Detroit for camp.
