Days DetroitWasted
Dylan Larkin asked out in June. Detroit still has him. Now he's suspended without pay and the line is running without its best part.
The TimecardOne punch for every day off the payroll
Every row is a day since the Red Wings suspended him. Game nights show what Detroit did without him. The red stamp is what he didn't get paid.

The money
NHL salaries are paid out over the regular season's days. Larkin's 2026-27 salary is $8,000,000, so one day costs $8,000,000 ÷ 194 = $41,237.11.
That divisor isn't a guess. Connor Hellebuyck's reported forfeit was $927,835.05 for 24 days on a $7.5M salary, which is exactly $7.5M ÷ 194 × 24.
We count from midnight ET on Oct 29 and keep going until he's traded or reinstated. It's an estimate: the exact pay-period math belongs to the team and the NHLPA.
The days and the record
- The big counter runs from June 4, 2026, the day Elliotte Friedman first reported the request. He may have asked privately before that.
- With/without comes from Detroit's 2026-27 schedule and Larkin's NHL game log. "Without" includes the two games he didn't dress for to open the season, before the suspension.
- Records are W-L-OTL. Overtime and shootout losses count as OTL.
