Red Wings reportedly still have a way out of Dylan Larkin’s trade request

The Detroit Red Wings are facing challenges with captain Dylan Larkin's trade request, as they lack viable trade options and no team is willing to meet their high asking price. The organization is considering reconciliation with Larkin, noting his contract is cap-friendly and retaining him may be wiser than trading him. However, Larkin remains firm in his decision due to frustration with missing the playoffs and the front office's approach to trades and free agency. The Red Wings cannot complete a trade until a new general manager is hired, as current assistant GM Shawn Horcoff does not have authority to approve blockbuster deals.
