The Detroit Red Wings announced that forward Dylan Larkin will no longer be the team captain and will enter the 2026-27 season without a captain named. Discussions regarding Larkin’s future will occur only after the new hockey operations leadership is established. Larkin, who requested a trade earlier this summer, confirmed he will attend training camp but did not directly address his captaincy status. Potential candidates to replace him include Moritz Seider, Lucas Raymond, and Alex DeBrincat, contingent on his long-term commitment to the team.
