What BBN said about it
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe Red Wings suspended Dylan Larkin without pay, ESPN reports, after he told the team he would no longer play for Detroit, and it costs him forty-one thousand dollars a day.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: this is Detroit setting a boundary.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTen straight seasons without the playoffs, and the team has finally found something it can hold out of the lineup, which is him.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNot. He asked for a trade before they dismissed Steve Yzerman. The man who got the request is gone and the request is not.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take: Larkin wins this.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThree teams to ten. Detroit hasn't had that much interest since the last time it made the playoffs.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHot. A league-high tenth season out of the playoffs will do that.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTen teams?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorTen.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHorcoff says Larkin sits until a trade's worked out. Interim GM, permanent bench. I'd call that stability.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy final take: Detroit should suspend itself without pay, and the fans would finally be paid back in full.
