Simon Edvinsson<\/a>, a restricted free agent, remains unsigned and wants a trade as well.<\/p>\nAlthough he couldn\u2019t participate at first due to an upper-body injury, Larkin showed up for training camp. When he was stripped of the captaincy, he said actions have consequences. He faced the boos during introductions at the home opener and early in his first game back, and he had six points (two goals, four assists) in 10 games.<\/p>\n
In his mind, he gave the Red Wings enough time to make a deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cDylan\u2019s had enough of the situation,\u201d Larkin\u2019s agent, Pat Brisson, told The Athletic. \u201cWe believe he\u2019s been very professional and cooperative through this process.\u201d<\/p>\n
That changed Thursday, though, didn\u2019t it? Larkin said he wanted to earn back the trust of his coaches and teammates. Now he has quit on them and put pressure on the team. Is that professional and cooperative?<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s pretty raw,\u201d Horcoff said. \u201cI think everybody needs some time in the locker room to digest it. I will say that I\u2019ve been very, very impressed. Dylan requested to be traded this summer, and those players welcomed him with open arms, as did the coaching staff, as did management, as did the fans to a large extent.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Red Wings hoped they could smooth things over with Larkin. That\u2019s over now.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy initial plan was to try to fix it,\u201d Horcoff said. \u201cI wanted to try to do what I could to keep Dylan here in a Red Wing jersey, and clearly I was unsuccessful doing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if the situation had become unfixable, Horcoff said: \u201cDylan no longer wants to be a Red Wing, and he\u2019s not with us. That pretty much is a strong statement. I think Dylan\u2019s the only one that really would be able to answer something like that, but for us, it\u2019s pretty cut and dried.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defenseman Moritz Seider<\/a>\u00a0said \u201cit meant a little more\u201d when the Red Wings defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 at Little Caesars Arena on Thursday night, because \u201cthis is our squad.\u201d Despite the distractions, they\u2019re 5-1-3 in their past nine games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You can see Larkin\u2019s side, to an extent.
