Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin reports to NHL training camp after requesting a trade during the offseason, but the team removes him from the captaincy. Multiple outlets report the change in leadership occurs despite Larkin not being dealt, following earlier public information about his trade demand.
Alongside the captaincy decision, several reports indicate Larkin’s participation at the start of camp is affected by health. One outlet says he will not skate at the beginning of camp due to an upper-body injury sustained during off-ice training earlier in the week. Other coverage focuses more on the broader uncertainty around his future with the franchise, noting that he attends camp while the trade situation remains unresolved.
Differences across outlets are mainly in emphasis: some highlight the leadership shift and how the team plans to choose a new captain, while others focus on the timing of his return and the limited comments Larkin makes after the trade request. Overall, all accounts point to Larkin’s attendance at camp amid ongoing trade speculation and new injury-related restrictions at camp’s opening.
