Detroit Red Wings have suspended centre Dylan Larkin without pay after he said he will no longer play for them.

The Detroit Red Wings have suspended centre Dylan Larkin without pay after he said he will no longer play for them. Coach Todd McLellan announced that Larkin would not play on Thursday night at home against Chicago, with interim general manager Shawn Horcoff expected to address the move further.

Larkin requested a trade in the offseason after the franchise extended its postseason drought to a decade. He began the 2024–25 season still on the team but was stripped of the captaincy. The 30-year-old has two goals and six assists in 10 games. He initially told the Red Wings he would accept a trade to Florida, Minnesota and Vegas, but reportedly added more possibilities in recent weeks.

Larkin holds a full no-trade clause as part of his eight-year contract, which has five years remaining with an annual salary cap hit of $8.7 million. He has scored 278 goals and 649 points in 818 games since making his debut with Detroit during the 2015–16 season. He was also a key player for the United States when it won Olympic gold in February at the Milan Cortina Games.
