Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is at the center of a significant trade proposal that could involve three teams, according to a report from HockeyFeed. The potential blockbuster deal represents the most substantial offer yet for the 29-year-old center, who has spent his entire NHL career with Detroit since being drafted 15th overall in 2014.
Larkin, who serves as the Red Wings' captain, has recorded 191 goals and 315 assists in 673 regular-season games. He carries a $8.7 million cap hit through the 2029-30 season after signing an eight-year extension in March 2023. The three-team framework suggests complex salary-cap maneuvering would be required to complete any transaction.
No specific teams beyond Detroit have been identified in the proposal, and the Red Wings have not publicly indicated a willingness to move their franchise cornerstone. Larkin has expressed commitment to the organization's rebuilding process, which has shown progress with young talent emerging alongside the veteran core.
