Chris Ilitch Makes Major Admission About Dylan Larkin’s Red Wings Future
Chris Ilitch says Dylan Larkin could remain with the Red Wings all season, while leaving future captaincy decisions to new hockey leadership.
Red Wings owner Chris Ilitch indicated that Dylan Larkin might participate in the entire season with the team, despite unresolved questions surrounding Larkin's trade request and the loss of his captaincy. In an interview with The Detroit News, Ilitch confirmed that Larkin will report to training camp without returning as captain, leaving open the possibility that the team could move forward with Larkin in its lineup while his long-term future remains uncertain.
Ilitch emphasized that Larkin is under contract and will play for the Red Wings this year, stating that the organization is committed to supporting him and ensuring he can reach his full potential. The appointment of Shawn Horcoff as interim general manager provides the team with an executive for roster decisions while it searches for permanent leadership.
The Red Wings are handling the situation by preparing Larkin to play while keeping the details of his future private between the player and the front office.
