Training camp is roughly a month away, and Dylan Larkin — Detroit’s best and most important player — still does not have a job in place for the 2018-19 season.

“Something’s coming,” Larkin promised Tuesday afternoon, following an intense skills-training session alongside Connor McDavid and other NHLers at the Power Edge Pro camp in Toronto.

“I’ve told everyone I think it’ll be before training camp. It’s right there. I’m just waiting to iron out the details.”///

GM Ken Holland would prefer to lock Larkin up for the next five or six seasons, but he’s under a significant salary-cap crunch.

“That’s a pretty good honour — they’re showing a long-term commitment to you — but there are different offers out there, whether it’s a short-term bridge deal or a long-term deal,” Larkin said.

“Now we’re just trying to figure out what’s going to be best for both our futures.”
