Dylan Larkin's trade wish list remains unchanged after free agency flurry
· Yahoo Sports
It is coming down to a stalemate between the Detroit Red Wings and disgruntled star and captain Dylan Larkin.

In the two-plus months since Larkin's agent, Pat Brisson, requested a trade, Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman has not received an offer he believes is worth his time from the three teams on the list Larkin submitted: The Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights.
The Red Wings have listened to other teams – as is their right – but no trade is forthcoming.
Brisson told USA TODAY/Detroit Free Press on Wednesday, July 8, that there was nothing new to report.
Larkin, who turns 30 on July 30, has five years left on a contract carrying an $8.7 million salary cap hit.
The Wings have already paid him $31 million, making his contract all the more favorable.
The Wings are not interested in future assets in this potential trade. A person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY/Detroit Free Press on condition on anonymity that Yzerman is prepared for Larkin to report to camp rather than trade him for the sake of trading him.
