Dylan Larkin and Red Wings are officially at the point of no return

Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin has reiterated his desire to leave the team following a previously submitted trade request. Despite the departure of general manager Steve Yzerman, reports indicate there is no expectation of reconciliation between Larkin and the franchise. Larkin explicitly confirmed that he asked for a trade and stated he does not regret making the request.

While Larkin has not yet been traded, he is not expected to be in Detroit's opening night lineup. The forward suffered an upper-body injury during training camp and has not appeared for the team since, creating playing opportunities for other roster prospects while trade discussions loom.
