Larkin Will Never Play for the Red Wings Again | Ep. 415

Episode 415. Dylan Larkin’s agent, Pat Brisson, told Shawn Horcoff that Larkin will no longer play for the Red Wings, and the team responded by suspending him without pay. Greg and Ryan break down the Red Wings’ statement, Brisson’s statement, Darren Dreger’s report that CAA believes trades on the 10-team list were close, and Horcoff’s press conference.

They cover Larkin’s season so far, how Emmitt Finnie took over the top center spot, how the team played against Chicago with Larkin gone, and why Horcoff has leverage. Also: Larkin’s career totals with Detroit (818 games, 278 goals, 649 points), what he’s giving up in salary, and what a first game back at Little Caesars Arena would look like.

Second half: Simon Edvinsson still has no contract. Elliotte Friedman says Detroit and San Jose have talked about him, and Michael Misa’s name keeps coming up. Greg and Ryan walk through the San Jose cap math, the Dmitry Orlov angle, why an Edvinsson trade could unlock a Larkin deal, and where the Wild, Devils, Mammoth, Golden Knights, and Stars fit on Kevin Weekes’ list of likely Larkin destinations.
