Dylan Larkin done in Detroit?
Dylan Larkin has played his entire career for the Detroit Red Wings. He's now the captain of the storied Original Six franchise. He's also in the final year of a 5-year deal that paid him $6,100,000 per season. At the end of this season though Larkin becomes an unrestricted free agent.
If Larkin makes it to July 1st of next summer it'll be the first time in his career he's truly been on the trade market. While rumors circled earlier this summer that a deal could be close, it's appearing that's not the case. Like many free agents there have been thoughts that Larkin won't negotiate in season, making Tuesday the deadline to get a deal done.
Now Frank Seravalli, an NHL Insider shared that he believes this season will be Larkin's final season in Detroit.
With all eyes on Patrick Kane, Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin will be traded before the March 3 trade deadline. Larkin is quietly entering the final year of his deal and is a pending UFA. He holds a no-trade clause, but that could be a big change for a Michigan kid who has played almost exclusively in the Detroit area his entire. As mentioned Larkin's deal does come with a full no trade clause which will allow Larkin to dictate where and if he's traded. Larkin, like every player, wants to play playoff hockey. In his career he's only played 5 playoff games, all which occured during his rookie year.
