ESPN’s Greg Wyshynski Predicts Dylan Larkin Stays in Detroit

Dylan Larkin is 30 years old, he is no longer the Detroit Red Wings captain, and he still does not know where he will be playing this season after requesting a trade during the offseason. In 74 games played last season, he scored 34 goals and recorded 33 assists, along with a plus-3 rating.

Detroit stripped Larkin of the "C" earlier this month and will open the 2026-27 season without a captain. Whether he opens it in a Red Wings sweater is the larger question.
