Dylan Larkin Wants Out: Is Yzerman Responsible? | Detroit Red Wings

Dylan Larkin has requested a trade out of Detroit, and the franchise is at a breaking point. Sean Shapiro reported that Larkin and Steve Yzerman rarely speak — a quiet secret inside the LCA that's now out in the open. So who's really to blame for what the Detroit Red Wings have become?
This is a JC Sports Detroit opinion piece, separate from the Red Alert Podcast. Yzerman is going on year eight with no playoffs and a roster that fell apart in March for the third straight year. Larkin — the homegrown Michigan kid, the hand-picked captain — wants out and handed over a three-team list of Vegas, Florida, and Minnesota. Neither man took ownership of this franchise the way Dan Campbell's Lions built their culture from the ground up. Both share the blame.

A full breakdown of the Larkin trade request, Yzerman's track record, the rebuild timeline, and where the Red Wings go from here.
