Sabres are reportedly on the outside looking in for Red Wings' Dylan Larkin.

Several NHL insiders reportedly say Larkin will not expand the 10-team trade list his agent provided, though Detroit's assistant GM Kris Draper attended Buffalo's 5-2 win over Columbus on Friday. Sabres GM Jarmo Kekalainen has reportedly approached Detroit with a significant offer for Larkin, and teams outside that list have also reportedly shown interest. Restricted free agent Simon Edvinsson must sign by Dec. 1 to play in the NHL this season, and there has been no hint he will sign with Detroit, so a trade may be Detroit's top priority.
