Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin has a short list of three teams where he would accept a trade, the Detroit Free Press reported Monday.

He would be willing to waive his full no-trade clause to make a deal with the Florida Panthers, Minnesota Wild or Vegas Golden Knights, per the report.

The Michigan-born forward has spent his entire 11-year NHL career in Detroit. The Red Wings, however, are mired in a 10-year playoff drought. He appeared in five playoff games following the 2015-16 season and scored one goal.

Neither Larkin's representation nor team officials have commented publicly on the ongoing reports of Larkin's desire to leave.

Larkin, 29, recorded a career-high 34 goals to go along with 33 assists in 74 games this season.

He has two years remaining on his eight-year, $69.6 million contract. That pact extends through the 2030-31 season.

A gold medalist on the 2026 United States Olympic team in Italy, Larkin has totaled 643 points (276 goals, 367 assists) in 808 career games since he was selected by Detroit with the 15th overall pick of the 2014 NHL Draft.
