## Resource

The Detroit Red Wings are captain-less for the 2026-27 season, stripping Dylan Larkin of the C after six years — a move tied to his June trade request and the team’s wait for new hockey operations leadership. While Larkin remains on the roster, the franchise sees his desire to leave as incompatible with leading their storied Original Six club, especially amid playoff droughts during his tenure. With GM searches underway, talks about Larkin’s future will be private — and while he might stay without the captaincy, a trade remains likely for maximum return. The Red Wings are signaling a fresh start, prioritizing loyalty over legacy in their quest for a new leader. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
