Two days later, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reported the 29-year-old center listed the Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers as his <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HeleneStJames\/status\/2074541974946763066\">preferred destinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">MLive.com&#8217;s Ansar Khan reported <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mlive.com\/redwings\/2026\/07\/red-wings-larkin-expands-trade-list-by-one-but-its-not-enough.html?utm_campaign=mlivesports_sf&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">on July 9<\/a> that Larkin had expanded his list to include the Dallas Stars. However, it doesn&#8217;t appear the Red Wings are close to moving the two-way center. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">The Panthers already made their big move by acquiring winger Brady Tkachuk last month, while the Golden Knights lack the <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewjournal.com\/sports\/goldenknights\/why-a-dylan-larkin-trade-would-be-difficult-for-the-golden-knights-3846506\/?utm_campaign=widget&amp;utm_medium=topnews&amp;utm_source=sports_goldenknights&amp;utm_term=Why%20a%20Dylan%20Larkin%20trade%20would%20be%20difficult%20for%20the%20Golden%20Knights\">cap space and tradeable assets<\/a> to acquire Larkin. That leaves the Wild and Stars as possible destinations, but the Wings&#8217; asking prices thus far have been too high.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">On July 5, Sportsnet&#8217;s Nick Kypreos <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/nhl\/article\/real-kypers-trade-board-9-0-who-could-still-get-moved-this-summer\/\">claimed<\/a> the Red Wings would trade Larkin to the Wild if they could get first-line winger Matt Boldy in return. As for the Stars, Khan reported the Stars offered up winger Jason Robertson, but the Wings wanted center Wyatt Johnston. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Larkin is under contract through 2030-31, so Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman is in no hurry to move him. While there could be pressure to trade Larkin before training camp, Yzerman still has two months to sort that out. In the meantime, he&#8217;s made it clear that he wants a comparable player in return for Larkin. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Salary-cap and contract info via <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/puckpedia.com\/\">PuckPedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On June 5, Sportsnet&#8217;s Elliotte Friedman reported that Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin had requested a trade.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-766013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
