With the season less than a month away, Dylan Larkin may still be focused on his exit from Detroit, with Minnesota as his preferred landing spot.

Alex DeBrincat would welcome Dylan Larkin back on the Wings despite his trade request.

Training camps for the NHL's 2026-27 season will open on Sept. 16 and 17. As general managers of the 32 clubs evaluate their rosters for the coming season, they could turn to the trade market to address any glaring weaknesses.

It’s easy to fall in love with the idea of Dylan Larkin in a Minnesota Wild sweater. He’s a proven top-line center, a former 30-goal man, and the kind of battle-tested leader every contender covets at the deadline.

There might be a way out of the Dylan Larkin situation for the Detroit Red Wings, but it wouldn't be a pretty one.

Kasper's production fell to nine goals and 19 points while playing through a knee injury and being shuttled between wing and center. McLellan said after the season the Wings must decide at some point where they feel Kasper is most suited for.

The complication remains Larkin himself. According to Lavoie's latest reporting on BPM Sports, Larkin has still not added any Canadian team to his short list of acceptable destinations. The Dallas Stars may have been added to the list, but not the Canadiens.
