Horcoff Resolute on Getting Best Return for Red Wings, Not Larkin

Detroit Red Wings interim general manager Shawn Horcoff emphasized that the organization will prioritize securing the best return for the franchise rather than catering to Dylan Larkin's trade demands. The stance follows an announcement from Larkin's agent, Pat Brisson, stating the center will no longer fulfill his contract obligations. Consequently, Detroit suspended Larkin without pay ahead of their game against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Horcoff confirmed he is fielding multiple trade offers for the former captain, who carries an $8.7 million annual salary cap hit. The Red Wings are seeking NHL-ready players who can contribute immediately while maintaining the franchise's long-term competitive success.
