The Detroit Red Wings have scratched captain Dylan Larkin for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks, signaling a shift toward a trade.

Pollard, on pace for a fifth straight 1,000-yard season, is a tougher sell despite his expiring $4.42 million contract. Both players carry modest salary tags that could complicate deals, but the Simmons trade may signal a broader roster overhaul as Tennessee balances young QB Cam Ward’s development with long‑term planning.
