Report: Red Wings unwilling to part with Larkin, Mantha to land Tyler Myers

The Detroit Red Wings were apparently reluctant to give up a prized prospect to land Tyler Myers. 

The team's long-rumored flirtation with the towering defenseman - who was traded from Buffalo to Winnipeg on Wednesday - hit a snag when the Sabres requested either Dylan Larkin or Anthony Mantha in return, Bob McKenzie reported on NBC on Wednesday. 

McKenzie suggested the Red Wings' hesitation to part with prospects and picks will make it difficult to land experience on defense before the March 2 trade deadline.
