Detroit — It’s all Red Wings fans are talking about, want to know about, and even with the NHL Entry Draft and free agency several weeks away, care about.

Not surprising, either, because who knew captain Dylan Larkin would ask for a trade?

But Larkin did, so the question is, where is Larkin getting traded? And what could the Wings getting in return for him?

Teams are calling general manager Steve Yzerman, but there are obstacles. Larkin has a full no-trade clause and can dictate his next destination. Larkin is gradually growing his list of acceptable teams, which would potentially help Yzerman create more of a bidding war for Larkin, but it certainly would help if the list of teams would be even larger and more possible deals were involved.

After missing the playoffs for the last 10 consecutive seasons, Larkin is searching for a destination where he has an opportunity to taste winning. That may be understandable. But then again, many of those organizations don’t have the type of assets that would intrigue the Wings — namely, players somewhat comparable to Larkin, an established top-line, two-way center who has consistently scored 30 goals.

So what would some of the teams likely in the mix for Larkin be willing to offer?

Florida: The Panthers recently have won two Stanley Cups, still have an exceptional roster, and are based near Fort Lauderdale, so of course every veteran player would love to play here. Coming off an injury-plagued season, the Panthers didn’t make the playoffs and have the No. 9 overall pick to dangle. Probably a forward like Eetu Luostarinen or Anton Lundell. It’s difficult to see the Wings finding anything acceptable.

Minnesota: Wild GM Bill Guerin has shown his aggressiveness and willingness to make huge trades before — the Wild unexpectedly acquired defenseman Quinn Hughes — but the amount of tantalizing assets the Wild have now is small. Forwards Charlie Stramel (Michigan State) and Danila Yurov are often mentioned as pieces, but that won’t entice the Wings. Goaltender Jesper Wallstedt might, but it’s a position that isn’t a primary need for the Wings currently.

Utah: The Mammoth might satisfy both Larkin and the Wings. It’s a team that scared Vegas in the first round of the playoffs, Larkin could play with Olympic teammate Clayton Keller, and it’s an organization on the rise. Utah has ample prospects who could intrigue the Wings, though the Wings wouldn’t be helped short-term.

Dallas: GM Jim Nill knows Yzerman from their time with the Wings, and a relationship like that can help facilitate trades. The name often coming the other way, to the Wings, is Jason Robertson, a prolific goal scorer who is a restricted free agent. Would Larkin be the missing piece to get the Stars an elusive Stanley Cup? Tough question.

Vegas: The Golden Knights are currently in the Stanley Cup Finals, have Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner, along with other elite forwards. They don’t really need Larkin, unless they want to change the mix again on what appears to be a championship-quality roster.

Anaheim: Yzerman and Ducks GM Pat Verbeek played together and have worked front offices together. Again, a close, thoughtful relationship. The Ducks won a round in the playoffs this spring, and like Utah, have a blossoming roster. Larkin would be a great fit here. Anaheim has plenty of pieces to send the Wings.

Los Angeles: Kings GM Ken Holland drafted Larkin when Holland was running the Wings. Los Angeles desperately needs a quality center to replace the retired Anze Kopitar. Another seemingly perfect fit. But the Kings don’t have a lot assets of interest anymore.

Tampa Bay: The aggressive Lightning always need to be mentioned in a situation like this, especially Yzerman and Tampa GM Julien BriseBois having worked together. Tampa is always hamstrung by the salary cap, and attempting to fit Larkin into this salary structure would be near impossible. But the Lightning have a way of being creative.

Carolina: The Hurricanes are battling Vegas in the Stanley Cup Finals and have no huge need. But Larkin would make them even stronger, and Carolina doesn’t have salary cap issues. Would a defenseman like Alexander Nikishin captivate the Wings? Maybe another prospect, and draft picks? It doesn’t sound impossible.
