In a potential blockbuster trade, the Detroit Red Wings are rumored to be sending captain Dylan Larkin to the Los Angeles Kings for a $31 million forward. The package reportedly includes Quinton Byfield, a 6-foot-5 power forward taken second overall by the Kings in 2020, and Vojtech Cihar, a 19-year-old Czech winger who was named World Junior Championship MVP in 2024 and signed a three-year entry-level deal.
Byfield is projected to make $6.25 million annually for the next three years, while Cihar's cap hit is near $974,000 for his initial years. Larkin, 30, remains a captain and has a $69.6 million extension with Detroit through 2030-31. The trade would see the Red Wings shed Larkin's $8.7 million salary, while the Kings would gain a proven first-line center to replace Anze Kopitar.
Detroit's projected salary cap space after the trade would be around $81.98 million, leaving roughly $22 million in projected space.
