The Detroit Red Wings stand to lose a star player in Dylan Larkin, who may be traded, according to The New York Times. The evidence for this is a series of predictions from various outlets that suggest Larkin's future with the team is uncertain.

The Red Wings' offseason has been marked by controversy, with the team's fanbase expressing low morale, as reported by Octopus Thrower. This has led to speculation about the team's chances of winning, with Detroit Free Press suggesting that only a successful season can alleviate the 'weirdness' of the offseason.

The caveat to this situation is that the Red Wings are focusing on themselves, according to Yahoo Sports. The team is reportedly looking inward to address their issues, rather than getting caught up in external expectations or trade rumors.
