  "account": "The Detroit Red Wings have announced that Dylan Larkin will not be the team's captain for the upcoming 2026-27 season. Larkin, who requested a trade in the summer, will remain with the organization as training camp approaches. The Red Wings have stated that a new captain will be named once the new hockey operations leadership is in place.\n\nPotential candidates to fill the captaincy role include defenseman Moritz Seider, forward Lucas Raymond, and forward Andrew Copp. According to Logan Horn of The Hockey Writers, Seider is the most likely candidate to become the next captain. The defenseman has been Detroit's best at his position for five consecutive seasons and has been named an alternate captain for the past year.\n\nSeider has never missed a game during his five seasons with Detroit, scoring 10 goals and recording 50 assists during the 2025-26 NHL season. If Seider takes over as captain, it will likely be for the 2027-28 season and beyond.",
