Detroit Red Wings\u00a0captain\u00a0Dylan Larkin\u00a0has requested a trade by submitting a three-team list of desired destinations, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Larkin, 29, has a full no-trade clause as part of his contract, and his list was limited to being dealt to Vegas, Minnesota and Florida. He has five years left on an eight-year, $69.6 million contract, which carries an annual salary cap hit of $8.7 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trade demand comes after he completed his 11th season in Detroit and his 10th straight without a playoff berth. The Red Wings’ decade-long postseason drought now stands as the NHL’s longest active run after the\u00a0Buffalo Sabres\u00a0qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 15 years this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Red Wings faltered down the stretch in becoming the NHL’s second team to have 69 points through 53 games only to miss the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Waterford, Michigan, Larkin enjoyed success in his Olympic debut by winning a gold medal representing the U.S. at the Milan Cortina Games in February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The challenge for Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman is working out a deal with any of the three teams. Each is projected to be in the bottom half of the NHL in having $15.2 million or less in cap space available entering next season, according to spotrac.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they include the Golden Knights, who, with just $4.6 million of space available currently, rank 31st among the NHL’s 32 teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s unclear whether Larkin would be open to potentially expanding his list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Larkin has spent his entire career in the Detroit area. He played collegiately at Michigan and was selected by Detroit with the 15th pick in the 2014 draft. He’s a six-time 30-goal scorer and coming off a season in which he had 67 points, including a career-best 34 goals in 74 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
