Darren Dreger

What does he have a year, two, three years left?

I'm not going to be the guy that pinpoints that because he's going to be in that office for as long as he wants to be.

Okay, fellas, have a good night.

No, nothing at all.

Well, yeah, I mean, you're referring to Dylan Larkin of the Detroit Red Wings.

And, you know, when you think of bombshells, that's as big a bombshell as we're probably going to get leading into the offseason post Stanley Cup.

So I think there's need for a little bit of an explanation here.

This has been in the works for a while.

I think that's pretty obvious.

You know, you don't just wake up one morning as a top player and go, okay.

I've been here 11 years, whatever it is.

It hasn't worked out.

Time for a fresh start.

No, years probably is a stretch, O-Dog, but...

Again, you think of Dylan Larkin, I mean, you know, it feels like he was born and raised to play with the Detroit Red Wings.

You know, obviously, right?

Like that's where he's from.

So for Dylan to get to the place where he's requested a trade, that tells you that there's been a lot of thought.

There's layering to all of this.

I mean, the man has a family.
