Dylan Larkin is losing the public relations battle.
The Detroit Red Wings captain reportedly handed Steve Yzerman a short list of destinations he'd waive his no-trade clause for, limiting Detroit's leverage and frustrating a fanbase that supported him through ten years of losing hockey.
And yet...
Two things can be true.
Larkin can be handling this poorly.
And Steve Yzerman can still be responsible for creating the situation in the first place.
In this episode of Red Wings Rant, we discuss how the relationship between the captain and the organization appears to have broken down, why fans are turning on Larkin, and whether Yzerman ever truly built a contender around the player who carried Detroit through the darkest era in franchise history.
We also break down potential trade returns from Minnesota, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, Dallas, and Utah while asking the biggest question facing the organization:
Did Dylan Larkin quit on the Red Wings?
Or did the Red Wings fail Dylan Larkin?
Topics include:
• Larkin's reported trade request
• The short list of destinations
• Why Red Wings fans are angry
• The "Justin Faulk hot dog" problem
• Steve Yzerman's roster construction
• Potential trade packages
• What happens next for Detroit
• Who deserves the most blame
For the first time in years, the conversation isn't about rebuilding.
It's about accountability.
