McKenzie: Red Wings have "significant interest" in Myers
/Bob McKenzie was on NBCSN before Wednesday night's Bruins - Red Wings game.
On what Detroit's interest is in Tyler Myers:
"They have significant interest, but the price is high. Now, they wanted him last year, and the Buffalo Sabres wanted Anthony Mantha - top prospect in the Detroit organization. A non-starter. They wanted Nyquist. Non-starter.

"So now the Red Wings are looking again at Tyler Myers and they want to get a handle. They think he'd make a big difference on their blueline and help to make them that contending team. But the question then becomes, are they prepared to give up a really top-end prospect like Dylan Larkin - first round pick who's playing at the University of Michigan. Or does Kenny Holland have to find out what are these Red Wings again, to go back to the other point. Do we give up our young kids for a defenseman in his mid-20s, or do we pull our horns back in.
"And I think that's the exercise they're going through now, as they take a real hard look, in terms of their pro scouting, at Tyler Myers' game and where it's at."
