The Story in 60 Seconds

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin decided to step away from the team in an attempt to force a trade, but reports indicate the move might not accelerate a deal. Larkin is reportedly forfeiting $41,000 per day in salary, yet the limited market among the clubs on his 10-team trade list continues to complicate potential discussions.

Sportsnet insider Elliotte Friedman reported that Larkin could alter his 10-team trade list in the coming days, as moves to contenders like the Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights, or Colorado Avalanche appear unlikely.
