  "account": "The Detroit Red Wings have suspended Dylan Larkin without pay, indicating he will not play for them. Larkin, a key player for the Red Wings, has informed the team he will no longer be associated with Detroit. The Stars, one of the 10 teams on Larkin's approved trade list, have not been expanded by Pierre LeBrun. It remains uncertain whether Larkin will join Dallas or another team.\n\nThe Stars must prioritize signing Jason Robertson before any move for Larkin. Robertson is contracted for $12 million this season and is set to become a free agent next year. As a 27-year-old, he should be the team's top priority. The Stars cannot sign Robertson to an extension until January 1. According to Pierre LeBrun, the Stars have not been in the trade market for Larkin, but rather need to focus on Robertson first.\n\nWhile other teams, such as the Minnesota Wild, have shown interest in Larkin, TSN's Chris Johnston suggests many of the 10 teams are not actively negotiating. Robertson's contributions to the Stars, including five goals and eight assists in 13 games, make him a crucial player to retain before considering a trade for Larkin.",
