Dylan Larkin Names Trade Candidates, Columbus Blue Jackets Out of the Mix

Detroit Red Wings’ Captain Dylan Larkin Trade Update

In a recent development regarding Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin, insider Frank Seravalli has confirmed a report from the Detroit Free Press, highlighting that Larkin has provided a shortlist of three teams for a potential trade. The Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild, and the Las Vegas Golden Knights make up this list, with the latter being a particularly unsurprising choice for many fans given the Knights’ competitive standing in the league.

This news effectively eliminates the Columbus Blue Jackets from contention for Larkin, a scenario many had regarded as an unlikely dream. While some supporters clung to hopes of a reunion with vice-captain Zach Werenski, the prevailing sentiment was that Larkin, approaching his 30th birthday, was not inclined to join a struggling franchise like Columbus. The Red Wings star has specified to #LGRW—which stands for Let’s Go Red Wings—that the aforementioned teams are where he would be open to a trade.
