The Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin becomes a flashpoint in Montreal as Canadiens fans chant “We Want Larkin” during a Saturday game against Detroit. The chants come amid ongoing speculation about whether Larkin would consider a trade to the Canadiens.
Reporting from multiple outlets says Larkin is not currently listing Montreal on his expanded 10-team trade preferences, and Detroit officials describe the situation as “status quo.” Interim Red Wings GM Shawn Horcoff characterizes Larkin’s stance as unchanged. At the same time, Pierre LeBrun reports the Canadiens are prepared to engage with an offer if Larkin’s preferences shift, with some accounts describing Montreal as ready to make a major package.
Overall, outlets converge on the same core points: the fan pressure in Montreal, Detroit’s view that nothing has changed yet, and the idea that the Canadiens’ pursuit depends on whether Larkin adds them to his trade list.
