Doubts began to hover about Dylan Larkin<\/a>\u2019s future with the Detroit Red Wings<\/a> after the club again missed out on qualifying for the playoffs last season.<\/p>\n Reports started to gain traction that Larkin does not want to stay in Hockeytown and that he has asked for a trade out of Detroit. GM Steve Yzerman later confirmed that the reports were accurate.<\/p>\n Dylan Larkin also submitted a short list of teams he would be willing to go to. He is currently signed to an eight-year, $69.8 million contract and has a no-trade clause. Despite his trade request, GM Steve Yzerman recently stressed that he cannot guarantee that the trade request will be met.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/template><\/p>\n \u201cShortly after the season, I received a phone call from Dylan Larkin\u2019s agent, informing me that Dylan would like to be traded,\u201d Yzerman said via NHL.com. \u201cA week or so after that, Dylan\u2019s agent followed up with a short list of teams that Dylan would consider waiving his no-trade (clause) to go to. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n He added:<\/p>\n “My job as the manager of the Detroit Red Wings is always to do what is in the best interest of the Detroit Red Wings, and I will act accordingly. I cannot make any guarantees, or did not make any guarantees, that that request could or would be met.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yzerman also added that Larkin\u2019s situation has created a lot of uncertainty around the Red Wings\u2019 roster buildup heading into free agency.<\/p>\n NHL insider Darren Dreger recently chimed in on Dylan Larkin\u2019s uncertain future with the Red Wings. He believes that Larkin would prefer to play for another U.S.-based team.<\/p>\n \u201cIt sure sounds like Dylan Larkin\u2026would prefer another U.S.-based team,\u201d Dreger said on the McKenna & Starr Morning Show.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n According to reports, the Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights, and Florida Panthers<\/a> are among the interested teams Larkin would like to go to.<\/p>\n Notably, these were also the teams that he reportedly mentioned in his short list of preferred teams. Larkin has been the face of the franchise for a long time. However, he has only played five postseason games with them, which were during his rookie year in 2016.<\/p>\n Since then, he has not made the playoffs, and this is one of the major factors in Larkin asking for a trade out of Detroit. The 29-year-old has amassed 643 points through 276 goals and 367 assists in 808 career games.<\/p>\nNHL insider believes Dylan Larkin is prioritizing continuing to play for a US-based team<\/h2>\n
