Dylan Larkin Trade Saga

Captain Dylan Larkin requested a trade after Steve Yzerman's exit, but the market has shrunk to Minnesota. Trade talks are stalled because interim GM Horcoff lacks authority to make a trade without a permanent GM. The Yzerman-Larkin rift may now be moot, opening the possibility of reconciliation. Larkin is expected to report to camp, with a 30-day countdown to the season. A new angle suggests Detroit may be deliberately stalling to let a new GM repair the relationship.
