Dylan Larkin Booed on Opening Night

Clip credit u/daKrut

Context: Dylan Larkin was the captain of the Detroit Red Wings and requested a trade, while having a no-trade clause, and originally limited the team to 3 options to where he would agree to be traded to. He has since been stripped of the captaincy and has largely turned the entire fanbase against him. Had he not made such an unreasonable request for a trade, he would likely have not faced such harsh backlash.

Sorry, but I've never heard of that man. Maybe some American athlet.

He was the captain of the Detroit Red Wings, no longer captain as he was stripped off the"C", and requested to be traded after last season. Because he has a no trade clause in his contract every trade has to be approved by him and has made it hard to get rid of him. He just signed a 7 year contract like last summer or the one before. Detroit hasn't taken to kindly of their former captain essentially saying he doesn't want to play for them anymore.
