The Detroit Red Wings entered Friday’s first round of the NHL Draft not slated to make a pick, and left it with the exact type of prospect their farm system needed after swinging a trade. Normally, that would be the whole story — and a big one.But right now, with Dylan Larkin’s trade request still unresolved — and general manager Steve Yzerman notably not speaking to the media after the first round — Larkin’s status cast a shadow over the rest of the night, even as significant as it already was.As the trade waters bubbled early in the week, then boiled as it went on, Larkin’s future remained in limbo despite a trade request that has been public for more than three weeks now.That wasn’t totally unexpected, as Yzerman’s history has shown he’s willing to hold out for a return he wants. Really, that Larkin wasn’t moved on Friday doesn’t change much about the situation, beyond the fact that any premium 2026 picks that might have been in play for Larkin are now in the past. The certainty those picks carried with their placement was valuable, but those picks weren’t the only ways to build a Larkin deal, and with Yzerman still not talking, we still don’t even know how the Red Wings will prioritize picks, prospects or players in the eventual return.Detroit Red Wings draft "very, very smart" J.P. HurlbertThe Athletic Hockey ShowSince the day Larkin’s request became public, there has always been a question of whether the Red Wings would see it as grounds for a deeper retool, or if they would remain focused on ending a 10-year playoff drought as soon as possible. Friday doesn’t answer that question, which will now drag into Saturday’s Day 2, and perhaps even longer, with the start of free agency on July 1 less than a week away.But there was still action from the Red Wings on Day 1 of the draft, even if it took a while to materialize. And it came in the form of the other trade intrigue surrounding the franchise this summer, in the form of top goalie prospect Sebastian Cossa.Before Larkin’s situation was the talk of Hockeytown, all eyes were on what Yzerman would do with Cossa, a 2021 first-round pick who Detroit traded up to select at No. 15 five years ago — picking him over Jesper Wallstedt — but had still yet to get his first NHL start in Detroit at age 23.
