Former Detroit Red Wings executive Doug MacLean has criticized Dylan Larkin for his recent actions, describing them as unprecedented in hockey. MacLean, who was the assistant GM of the team while Steve Yzerman was captain, expressed his confusion over Larkin's behavior. Larkin made a formal trade request to the Red Wings after the end of last season and was stripped of his captaincy by the team on the eve of training camp.
MacLean stated that he has never seen anything like Larkin's situation and questioned why the young player is causing such a stir in his hometown team. Despite Larkin's right to request a trade and express his preference for his future destination, MacLean advised the Red Wings brass to be patient and wait for the right deal before trading him.
