Report: Dylan Larkin Expands His Trade List

Dylan Larkin wants out of Detroit, and word is he'll likely be getting his wish this week. The Red Wings are in advanced trade talks to move Larkin out, and it's likely due to the fact recently, Larkin expanded his trade list.

According to Helene St. James of The Detroit Free Press, the Detroit Red Wings center has expanded his list of potential trade destinations to 10 teams. Larkin's original list was just three teams, including the Vegas Golden Knights, Minnesota Wild, and Florida Panthers.

Since then Steve Yzerman has been moved into a different position, Larkin's expanded his list, and the Red Wings continue to mull through offers. Interim GM Shawn Horcoff has been given the green light from ownership to trade the former captain, and now it's time to finalize the deal.

Larkin's been a pro's pro, coming to training camp regardless of the trade demands. Having to stand up, get the 'C' removed from his jersey, face the noise of the home crowd booing him during introductions, and playing minutes for a team he has no interest in winning with. It's an awkward situation and Larkin's handled it very well.

While the trade list has expanded, speculation continues that Montreal is not on the list, even though their fanbase have interest, GM Kent Hughes has interest, and the Canadiens have a trade package to finalize a deal. For now, the list includes the Mammoth, Panthers, Hurricanes, Devils, Stars, Wild, Golden Knights, Lightning, Capitals, and Avalanche.
