What happened: Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is reportedly considering expanding his list of preferred trade destinations to include West Coast teams. This follows a trade request made earlier this month as Larkin seeks to end a decade-long playoff drought in Detroit.

Why it matters: Larkin holds a full no-trade clause, giving him total control over where the Red Wings can send him. Management is weighing the potential return for their franchise cornerstone as they look to re-tool before the upcoming season.

By the numbers: Larkin recorded 34 goals and 67 points in 74 games during the 2025-26 season. He has now reached the 30-goal mark in five consecutive campaigns.

What to watch: Expect more clarity on Larkin's updated list as the NHL Draft nears in late June.
