To no one\u2019s surprise, the Detroit Red Wings have been prominently featured in NHL headlines as of late. Dylan Larkin<\/a>\u2019s trade request has been a trending topic around Detroit and the larger hockey community.<\/p>\n

In addition to updates on the Larkin saga, get caught up on the latest Red Wings news and rumors, including trade rumors about a goalie prospect, recognition in the AHL, and much more.<\/p>\n

Larkin Asked to Expand Trade List<\/p>\n

According to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic, the Red Wings have asked Larkin to expand the list of teams he\u2019s willing to accept a trade to.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c[Steve] Yzerman went back to [Larkin\u2019s agent Pat] Brisson and asked to expand their original list of three teams,\u201d noted LeBrun (from \u2018NHL rumblings: Larkin trade list expanding, plus latest on Matthews, Werenski, Tuch, Lee, more\u2019 \u2013 The Athletic \u2013 6\/10\/26), \u201cand my sense is that Brisson was receptive to that to some degree. So I don\u2019t think we\u2019re just dealing with the Minnesota Wild, Vegas Golden Knights and Florida Panthers anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

LeBrun also noted that the Dallas Stars have reached out, and that it\u2019s possible a third team could get involved in trade talks involving partners that don\u2019t have the assets to meet Detroit\u2019s asking price.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the request for an expanded trade list. To me, that indicates that Yzerman touched base with the three teams on the original list and didn\u2019t receive any satisfactory offers, thus the need to involve more teams. Doing so will allow more offers to materialize and encourage the three original teams to up the ante for Detroit\u2019s captain.<\/p>\n

If Yzerman does receive a list of additional teams, you have to think that they\u2019ll fit a similar profile: U.S.-based, win-now organizations with Team USA talent. This may include:<\/p>\n

Carolina Hurricanes (Jaccob Slavin)<\/p>\n

Utah Mammoth (Clayton Keller)<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay Lightning (Jake Guentzel)<\/p>\n

New Jersey Devils (Jack Hughes)<\/p>\n

Dallas Stars (Jake Oettinger)<\/p>\n

Anaheim Ducks (Jackson LaCombe)<\/p>\n

While not exactly a win-now team, it\u2019s difficult to ignore the Columbus Blue Jackets given the fact that Larkin\u2019s best friend and Team USA compatriot Zach Werenski is part of the team\u2019s core.<\/p>\n

Trade Speculation for Red Wings\u2019 Cossa<\/p>\n

While his name has been brought up in trade rumors multiple times this offseason<\/a>, it was interesting to see Sebastian Cossa<\/a> mentioned as a potential trade chip by NHL analyst Kevin Weekes.<\/p>\n

Weekes specifically noted Utah, who, according to a source, had interest in acquiring Detroit\u2019s top goaltending prospect during the 2025 NHL Draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If the Red Wings do, in fact, move Cossa, that\u2019s a sign that they intend to add talent that can help immediately \u2013 at least in my opinion. While Cossa is ready for NHL duties, he plays a position that\u2019s well-stocked within the organization and could be dealt to address other needs, such as top-six scoring help.<\/p>\n

Red Wings Prospect Earns AHL Recognition<\/p>\n

After a stellar rookie year in the AHL, Michael Brandsegg-Nygard was named to the 2025-26 AHL Top Prospects Team<\/a>. This comes after winning the bronze medal with Norway at the 2026 World Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his first full year in North America, Brandsegg-Nygard registered 20 goals and 44 points in 60 games with the Grand Rapids Griffins. He also recorded eight points in as many games during the AHL playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brandsegg-Nygard was Detroit\u2019s No. 4 prospect<\/a> heading into the 2025-26 season and will likely be ranked even higher heading into next season. His AHL and World Championship production\u2014combined with his physical style of play and lethal release\u2014suggest that he could be a full-time NHLer in 2026-27.<\/p>\n
