"Yzerplan really destroyed that franchise": Fans stunned as Simon Edvinsson reportedly prefers trade from Red Wings amid contract stalemate
Edvinsson wants a trade as Detroit still seeks to sign him, with no talks underway and a Dec. 1 deadline looming.
- On Saturday, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported that unsigned Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson prefers a trade, a preference revealed just one day after the team's season opener.
- Contract negotiations stalled because Edvinsson seeks a seven-year deal at $9 million to $11 million annually, while Detroit prefers a bridge contract. The defenseman remained in Sweden during the impasse.
- A trade proposal circulating on PuckGM suggests sending Edvinsson and center Dylan Larkin to the Philadelphia Flyers for defenseman Cameron York, forward Noah Cates, and prospect Jack Nesbitt. Larkin was stripped of the captaincy.
- Detroit holds more than $16 million in cap space, though acquiring teams inherit the December 1 deadline; Edvinsson cannot play in 2026-27 if unsigned by that date.
- Despite the trade request, the Red Wings prioritize signing Edvinsson, per Friedman, though the team and agents are not currently talking. This saga compounds Detroit's challenge of managing Larkin's separate trade request.
