What can you expect from Detroit Red Wings prospect Simon Edvinsson?
Simon Edvinsson, selected sixth overall in the 2021 NHL Draft, is emerging as a key part of the Detroit Red Wings' future.
After spending a significant portion of the 2023-24 season with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Edvinsson earned a regular spot in Detroit's lineup as the team pushed for a playoff spot. Now set for his first full NHL season in 2024-25, there's growing optimism about his role in Detroit's defence.
Simon Edvinsson's performance has drawn praise from teammates, with Moritz Seider highlighting his importance to the team's success. There's speculation about Edvinsson potentially joining Seider on Detroit's top defensive pair.
While it's likely that Ben Chiarot may start the season in that role, many, including Connor Earegood of The Silky Mitten State podcast, believe Edvinsson could grow into that top-pair role as the season progresses. His ability to replicate some of the qualities that made Jake Walman successful alongside Seider is a potential key to Edvinsson's rise within the team.
