Three weeks ago, Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin requested a trade to one of three teams: Florida, Vegas and Minnesota.Florida acquired Senators captain Brady Tkachuk in a blockbuster deal but Vegas and Minnesota have yet to make a major move.Now, on the eve of the NHL Draft in Buffalo, the Red Wings are rumored to be in the running for former Little Caesars forward Jason Robertson.Robertson is a 45-goal scorer for the Dallas Stars, who weren't on Larkin's original list of teams but are perennial contenders.The big drawback?The Northville native is reportedly targeting a $14 million per year contract, equaling the deal by Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl."He (Robertson) isn't a great skater but he has that Alex DeBrincat knack for scoring goals," Red Wings beat reporter Ted Kulfan said on The Detroit News' OctoPulse podcast. "He also plays with better talent and that always scares me when a guy like that comes to a lesser team. Sometimes that doesn't work out too well."I don't know if that's an exact fit. I think Dallas might want a little more than Dylan Larkin from what I've heard. Would Robertson be thrilled about coming to Detroit? I don't see Steve Yzerman paying $13 or $14 million dollars a year to a player. That seems a little far-fetched right now."Today's podcast, episode 147, also includes Tony Paul's interview with Hilary Knight, who signed a two-year contract extension on Thursday afternoon with Detroit's PWHL expansion team.Subscribe to Detroit News podcasts iTunes SpotifyPrevious OctoPulse podcasts Larkin trade could put Wings in draft lottery Should Red Wings trade Lucas Raymond?

The USA's next World Cup opponent is official: Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina finished its three Group A matches with four points, including a win over Qatar in Seattle on the final match day. It will now head south for its next match, which will be on Wednesday, July 1, in Los Angeles. Here's everything to know about the matchup: Bosnia And Herzegovina's World Cup Journey Bosnia and Herzegovina finished second in its qualifying group behind Austria. It went 5-2-1 in a group that also included Romania, Cyprus and San Marino. From there, Bosnia and Herzegovina advanced thanks to a pair of victories in penalty shootouts. The first match was against Wales in Cardiff, where Edin Dzeko scored in the 86th minute to make the score 1-1 before the Bosnians then won the shootout 4-2. That victory against Wales set up a home match against Italy in the final playoff round. Italy took a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute, but defender Alessandro Bastoni received a red card in the 41st minute. Bosnia equalized through Haris Tabakovic in the 79th minute (Dzeko assisted the goal), and then it won the shootout 4-1 after two misses from Italy. At the tournament itself, Bosnia and Herzegovina opened with a 1-1 draw against Canada before losing in convincing fashion, 4-1, to Switzerland. Then, a 3-1 win over Qatar was enough to finish third in its group on four points with a -1 goal difference. The Key Players The name that soccer fans are most likely to recognize: Edin Dzeko. The 40-year-old striker is the all-time leader with 150 appearances and 73 goals for Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dzeko has played for Manchester City, Roma and Inter Milan during his career. Since moving to FK Teplice in Czechia in the summer of 2005, he has scored 443 career goals. He is not the same player he was during his days in England or Serie A, but he is still more than capable of taking a chance in front of goal. The first goal against Qatar came from 18-year-old Kerim Alajbegovi, who is headed to Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. He's not the only promising young player for the Bosnians, though. Winger Esmir Bajraktarevic broke through at PSV Eindhoven this past season and made 36 appearances there. Bajraktarevic actually grew up in Appleton, Wisconsin, but opted to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina, where his parents were born. "He was the best passer in this game," our Brian Sciaretta wrote in his takeaways from Bosnia and Herzegovina's win over Qatar. "At just 24, Basic is a player not just for this World Cup, but he will also be important to Bosnia & Herzegovina by a long stretch." Another player who stood out: Ermin Mahmic, who scored Bosnia's third goal against Qatar after coming off the bench in the 63rd minute. "Finally," Sciaretta wrote, "there is Ermin Mahmic, the 21-year-old who put the game out of reach with the third Bosnia and Herzegovina goal. Born in Austria to Bosnian parents, Mahmic played for the Austrian youth national teams in the past. It was only last month, in May, when he completed a change-of-association switch with FIFA to play for Bosnia & Herzegovina. In doing so and then scoring in this game, he became one of the key pieces to this national team's future." Where And When Will USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina Be Played? This matchup will take place on Wednesday, July 1, at Los Angeles Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, and the game can be watched on FOX and streamed on FOX One.

SportsLine's Martin Green reveals his Australia vs. Paraguay best bets for their FIFA World Cup 2026 match on Thursday

Canada advanced to its first-ever knockout round but also made history in a different way by becoming the first World Cup host to have to play outside of its borders. Canadas 2-1 loss to Switzerland on Wednesday will send the the team south to Los Angeles to face South Africa in the Round of 32. A win or draw against Switzerland would have kept Canada in Vancouver for knockouts. "Of course, we would have loved to stay in Vancouver, were not kidding anyone on there," defender Alistair Johnston told reporters on Thursday. The two other co-hosts for the 2026 World Cup, the United States and Mexico, both won their groups and stay within their borders for the next round. The 2002 World Cup was co-hosted by Japan and South Korea, but neither squad played in the other country. Canadas coach Jesse Marsch was looking for the positives. "Theres also a certain benefit to eliminating a little bit of the distractions and the circus around the whole thing, as much as weve really enjoyed the home crowd," Marsch said. Both Marsch and Johnston emphasized the importance of rest in preparation for Canadas first elimination game. "Training is not going to be so intensive," Marsch said. "Its going to be about recovery, rehabilitation, and then re-energizing to really go again in the biggest game that weve had as a program." Wherever Canada plays, Johnston is optimistic the fans will be there too. "Were playing in LA, were not playing on Mars or something, you know what I mean," he said. "Im expecting a decent chunk of Canadian fans to get there." ___ Connor Joyce is a student in the University of Georgias Carmical Sports Media Institute. Reporting by The Associated Press.
