The Detroit Red Wings signed captain Dylan Larkin to an eight-year contract extension that carries an average annual value of $8.7 million, the team announced Wednesday.
Larkin was due to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason. His previous deal, signed in 2018, paid him $6.1 million yearly.
The Michigan native was subject to trade rumors this deadline season due to his uncertain contract status, but Larkin said in February he only sees himself as a Red Wing.
