What happened: The New York Times broke down six potential trade packages the Detroit Red Wings could fetch in a Dylan Larkin deal. The evaluation comes after Larkin's reported request to be moved away from Detroit. The piece weighs a range of returns built around prospects, picks, and roster pieces.
Why it matters: Larkin is Detroit's captain and the face of its rebuild, so moving him would mark a major reset for the franchise. The speculation follows reporting that Larkin requested a trade amid a stalled 'Yzerplan', raising the stakes on whatever Detroit ultimately accepts. A captain's exit reshapes both the locker room and the long-term direction of the club.
What to watch: Watch whether Detroit engages on a deal as the offseason market heats up and how front offices value a return for the Red Wings captain.
