This won\u2019t be a surprise to many, as the only question on many fans\u2019 minds is whether Larkin will begin the year with the Red Wings or hold out until the situation is resolved.<\/p>\n<p>According to Duff, Larkin and his representation haven\u2019t considered holding out. This means that even if the Red Wings can get a General Manager in place in the relatively near future and they don\u2019t have enough to swing a trade, Larkin is amenable to going to Detroit\u2019s training camp and starting the regular season in HockeyTown.<\/p>\n<p>Even this approach won\u2019t come as too much of a surprise. Larkin has nearly nine million reasons not to hold out, as the Red Wings would be within their right to suspend him without pay if he refused to report to the team. It\u2019s safe to say that Larkin no longer has the support of many fans in Detroit, and refusing to honor his contract would only increase the amount of vitriol coming his way.\u00a0 Regardless, assuming the Red Wings can\u2019t find a trade partner after hiring a new General Manager, Larkin shouldn\u2019t bank on a warm return to Little Caesars Arena.<\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s easy to gauge Red Wings fans\u2019 thoughts on the situation, determining the reception by his teammates is much more difficult. There\u2019s little chance Larkin will remain the captain of the team after requesting a trade, but it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess how much respect he\u2019ll retain in the locker room. At the end of the day, hockey players are professional athletes, with professional being the key word.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nobody who can understand Larkin\u2019s situation better than his teammates, but it\u2019s also hard to argue that he\u2019ll have the same amount of respect as he once had. Especially for the players who want to be in Detroit, that breach of perceived loyalty is hard to repair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to Bob Duff of Detroit Hockey Now, there is growing confidence around the league of what many&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":673442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[42],"tags":[2993,108086,293,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-1009100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-detroit-red-wings","tag-dylan-larkin","tag-nhl","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117117825678117986","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1009100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1009100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/673442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1009100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1009100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1009100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
