A full no-trade clause leaves any deal in his hands

What happened: Dylan Larkin plans to show up for Detroit's training camp unless a trade is worked out beforehand, according to Detroit Hockey Now. The Red Wings captain holds a full no-trade clause, meaning any deal requires his approval.

Why it matters: The report comes as Detroit works to reconcile with its captain after a trade pitch sending Larkin to Vegas surfaced earlier this month. Larkin's control over the process means Detroit cannot move him without his sign-off, keeping the situation unresolved into camp.

What to watch: Watch for any trade movement before Red Wings camp opens; absent a deal, Larkin reports as planned.
