Red Wings swing trade at NHL Draft, but Dylan Larkin question still hangs over everything
The Detroit Red Wings traded into the first round of the NHL Draft to select forward JP Hurlbert, adding a prospect their farm system needed. However, Dylan Larkin's unresolved trade request, which has been public for more than three weeks, continues to overshadow the draft as general manager Steve Yzerman did not speak to media after the first round. Larkin was not traded on Friday, eliminating certain premium 2026 picks that could have been part of a potential deal, though the uncertainty about how the Red Wings will prioritize picks, prospects, or players in any eventual return remains unresolved.
