The Story in 60 Seconds

Detroit Red Wings interim general manager Shawn Horcoff stated he is in no hurry to trade Dylan Larkin, following the former captain's suspension without pay on Thursday. The team disciplined Larkin after his agent, Pat Brisson, notified management that the forward would no longer report to the rink or play for the club. Larkin had originally requested a trade during the offseason.

Horcoff emphasized that moving Larkin's contract presents significant challenges regarding salary cap logistics and preferred destinations, noting he is prepared to wait as long as needed to secure the right return.
