Dylan Larkin and the Red Wings could be headed toward a divorce, as Larkin requested a trade away from Detroit on Thursday, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Larkin, a Waterford, Mich. native, has spent his entire 11-year career in Detroit. He debuted with the club in 2015-16, when he made the All-Star Game as a rookie and helped the Red Wings reach the playoffs, though they were defeated in the first round by the Lightning. The team hasn’t made it back to the postseason since that campaign, now having gone 10 years without a playoff appearance, and it appears that Larkin is looking for a fresh start elsewhere.
