Inside the Article:
Earlier today it was reported that the Detroit Red Wings and captain Dylan Larkin were close to an extension. According to Pierre LeBrun, the deal is done. Officially, it's an eight-year, $8.7 million AAV for Larkin to remain with the club.
Why it matters:
Larkin has been with the Red Wings for eight years and will finish his career with the Winged Wheel on his chest. He was named captain in 2021 and has been the face of the current rebuild. Keeping the Waterford, Michigan product in the mitten is a great move forward for the club.
Dylan Larkin by the numbers:
- Larkin has played in 563 career games, netting 169 goals, and contributing 246 assists.
- He placed fifth in the Calder Cup in his rookie season.
- In 2022-23, Larkin has 22 goals, 35 assists, and averages 19:03 minutes on the ice.
- He is currently 41st in the league in total points on the season (57).

Kasper and Wallinder are playing and if you can watch look especially for Jonathan Pudas, a player who could/should be of interest to #LGRW
Imagine having Pavel Datsyuk running your player development. Very cool. #LGRW
Pavel Datsyuk has been named Player Development Manager of Avtomobilist.
Datsyuk was a player for Avtomobilist from 2019 to 2021. #KHL
It was getting a little crowded so I made a riser #LGRW
This is the year that I found queerdo Red Wings fans on Twitter and it's been so fucking exciting. The @wingingitmotown gang has had my heart since almost day one - I was their first podcast caller! - and their support of marginalized folks rules. #LGRW

But many women and LGBTQ people on Twitter are working to change that.

My guess is Jordan Oesterle is going to move up to the second pair with Olli Määttä. Unless they call up someone like Simon Edvinsson. Gustav Lindström sucks this season so #LGRW
