Dylan Larkin will report to the Red Wings’ training camp, John Klingberg and Connor Ingram announce their retirements, and more in today’s NHL Morning Coffee Headlines.

MLIVE.COM: Dylan Larkin and the Detroit Red Wings released statements that he would report to training camp but is no longer the team’s captain.

Larkin, 30, requested a trade earlier in the offseason. He has a full no-movement clause, but is willing to waive it for the Minnesota Wild, Florida Panthers, and Vegas Golden Knights. The Dallas Stars are also rumored to be a potential destination.

However, Larkin’s request remains in limbo as the Red Wings continue to search for a new general manager after relieving Steve Yzerman of those duties two months ago.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Friday’s statements end weeks of conjecture over whether Larkin would report to training camp. He had little choice given the circumstances. Missing camp and preseason play to force a trade would’ve resulted in suspension without pay and would’ve adversely affected his performance whenever he returned, either with the Red Wings or another club.

However, Larkin’s future still has to be decided.

MLive.com’s Ansar Khan wonders if reconciliation is possible once the Red Wings hire a new general manager and, if not, what it would take to make a trade possible. The teams on his trade wish list lack the cap space and tradeable assets to acquire him. Khan also pondered if Larkin would be welcomed back by his teammates and Red Wings fans.

NHL.COM: Defenseman John Klingberg announced his retirement after 12 NHL seasons. From 2014-15 to 2025-26, he had 96 goals and 351 assists for 443 points in 700 regular-season games with the Dallas Stars, Anaheim Ducks, Minnesota Wild, Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, and San Jose Sharks. He also had 43 points in 82 games, helping the Dallas Stars reach the 2020 Stanley Cup Final.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Klingberg’s best seasons were with the Stars. During his eight seasons in Dallas, the puck-moving blueliner reached or exceeded 40 points six times, including a career-high 67 points in 2017-18. Hip injuries eventually hampered his performance and derailed his playing career.

Goaltender Connor Ingram has retired after five NHL seasons. From 2021-22 to 2025-26, Ingram played with the Nashville Predators, Arizona Coyotes, Utah Mammoth, and Edmonton Oilers. He has a record of 55 wins, 54 losses, and 18 overtime losses with a 3.01 goals-against average, a .901 save percentage, and nine shutouts.

Ingram, 29, won the Bill Masterton Trophy in 2023-24 after seeking treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Elliotte Friedman reported Ingram’s goal is to return to school to study psychology and use what he learns to help others. Best wishes to Ingram in his future endeavors.

THE TENNESSEAN: Former Nashville Predators assistant coach Brent Peterson had died at age 68 following a long battle with Parkinson’s disease.

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Peterson was an NHL forward from 1978-79 to 1988-89 with the Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres, Vancouver Canucks, and Hartford Whalers, netting 213 points in 620 regular-season games.

Peterson turned to coaching following his playing career. He spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Whalers before becoming coach of the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks, guiding them to the WHL championship in 1997-98. He was an assistant coach with the Predators from 1998-99 to 2002-03. Following his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2002, he became their associate coach from 2003-04 to 2010-11.

My condolences to Peterson’s family, friends, former teammates and colleagues, and the Predators organization.
