Detroit suspended Dylan Larkin without pay after the forward said he would sit out until the Red Wings trade him. The longtime Red Wing has a full no-movement clause, so any deal requires his approval as well as one that fits Detroit’s long-term plans.

By the Numbers
  • 12 seasons with Detroit
  • 10 games played this season; 2 goals and 4 assists
  • 10 teams reportedly on his approved trade list
Yes, But

Larkin wants a trade after Detroit missed the playoffs for the 10th straight season, but his no-movement clause gives him a say in where he goes. Detroit says it will keep exploring deals while protecting the organization’s long-term interests.

State of Play
  • Larkin is suspended without pay and is not in the lineup.
  • His reported list includes Florida, Minnesota, Vegas, Dallas, Washington, Carolina, Utah, Tampa Bay, New Jersey and Colorado.
What’s Next

Detroit will continue seeking a trade, but a deal depends on finding a destination Larkin approves and terms the team accepts.

Bottom Line

The standoff puts Larkin’s next move—and Detroit’s return for a longtime core player—at the center of the season.
