The biggest Detroit Red Wings story in years may have just dropped.
According to Elliotte Friedman, Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has requested a trade out of Detroit. While details remain limited, multiple reports suggest frustration with Detroit's inability to end its playoff drought and growing tension between Larkin and Steve Yzerman may have contributed to the situation.
If true, this changes everything.
In this emergency Red Wings Rant episode, we break down:
* What Friedman actually reported
* Why Larkin may have reached this point
* Whether Steve Yzerman could actually move his captain
* Potential trade destinations
* What a Larkin trade package could look like
* What this means for Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider and the future of the franchise
* Whether this is a sign that the Yzerplan has failed
The Detroit Red Wings have spent a decade trying to rebuild. If their captain wants out, the organization may be facing its biggest crossroads yet.
