The Detroit Red Wings are facing an awkward situation with their captain, Dylan Larkin, who has requested a trade. Despite this, the team still wished him a happy birthday on Thursday.
Awkward Birthday Wish
The team’s birthday message was seen as awkward by many, given the current situation with Larkin. The message was a plain graphic with a Chick-fil-A sponsorship, which was also present in last year’s birthday message.
Fans were not pleased with the team’s decision to wish Larkin a happy birthday, given his trade request. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and frustration with the situation.
Larkin has a full no-trade clause in his contract for the next two years, which means he has control over where he is traded. If the Red Wings are unable to cut a deal with another team, Larkin will remain with the team.
