BetOnline lists the Florida Panthers as 3/1 favorites among potential destinations for Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin, ahead of the Minnesota Wild at 4/1 and the Vegas Golden Knights at 5/1. The odds do not confirm a trade is coming.
The report says Larkin requested a trade after Detroit missed the playoffs for a 10th consecutive season. He has five years left on his contract, with an $8.7 million salary-cap hit, and a full no-movement clause. Detroit has made clear it will not simply give him away.
Larkin recently declined to confirm reports that Florida, Minnesota and Vegas were the three teams on his trade list. The article cites Florida’s cap commitments, Minnesota’s need for a top center and GM Bill Guerin’s familiarity with Larkin from the 2026 Winter Olympics, where they won gold together, and Vegas’s history of major win-now moves. Each team would still need to manage the cap and meet Detroit’s demands for a return.
