Larkin, 29, has a full no-trade clause as part of his contract, and his list was limited to being dealt to Vegas, Minnesota and Florida. He has five years left on an eight-year, $69.6 million contract, which carries an annual salary cap hit of $8.7 million.
The trade demand comes after he completed his 11th season in Detroit and his 10th straight without a playoff berth. The Red Wings' decade-long postseason drought now stands as the NHL's longest active run after the Buffalo Sabres qualified for the playoffs for the first time in 15 years this season.
