HAPPY BIRTHDAY! The most disgusting day in Red Wings history. No wings captain has ever requested a trade in team history.

Literally why? This is unprecedented territory.

Happy Birthday as the tag for this thread? My guy, get a grip.

OP is right, this is a dark day in franchise history. If and when this trade is complete, this team will drop to the bottom five and it is rebuild the rebuild time. And if Yzerman bungled this trade and butchers this offseason, he should be gone.

Really, he should be gone already.

Plenty will hate on Larkin, I get it, but I won't be one of them. Hope he pulls a Stafford and finds the cup somewhere.

This kid learned nothing from Fedorov and the Wings repairing the relationship... What a clown this kid is.

Name another time a captain of the Red Wings ever did this?

I hope we pull a Lions and get a massive haul for him.

Thursday June 4th 2026. The day Larkin turned his back on Detroit. He quit!

No hate on Larkin, but Stafford is 6th all time in passing yardage, 7th all time in passing TDs, and could finish top 5 in both stats. He's one of the all time greats.

We're surprised that a shitty leader with a tendency to be a whiner is quitting?

do we really need a third thread devoted to this?

also, a trade request doesn't mean a trade will 100% happen. lots of talk could be going on in the background to see if the relationship is amendable. tbh, this could be larkins last "help the team or i'm out" type thing. i could see this as larkin wants steve to help, steve helps with justin faulk for some faulking reason, larkins team leaks a "trade request" to try to force steve into really improving the team since his nmc might greatly limit his return.

its late and im really high, i hope the scenario im trying to point out comes across in this chunk of text.
