The multi-talented Sean Shapiro posted some Red Wings tidbits on his must-read Substack this morning, offering some points of note ahead of the start of unrestricted free agency:
Nothing new on Dylan Larkin, for what it’s worth, I think Steve Yzerman is going to wait on this and he has no issue making Larkin come to camp if he doesn’t get a deal in place that he likes.
…
Alex DeBrincat has also been getting trade interest from other teams, but there’s a big difference between teams calling the Red Wings and the Red Wings actively “shopping” him, which is not the case.
Continued (paywall, but $7 is affordable); I don’t expect the Wings to ask Larkin to come to training camp at LCA this fall, should a trade not be consummated by that time. It would cause too much of a distraction. I’d suggest that he stay home instead.
