Detroit Red Wings restricted free agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned and is back in Sweden, where he is skating and training while awaiting a new NHL contract. Multiple reports say he does not skate with Detroit ahead of the team’s season opener.
The Red Wings continue negotiations with Edvinsson and his representatives, with interim general manager Shawn Horcoff indicating the organization will keep talking. The Athletic reports that signing Edvinsson remains a priority for Detroit, while also describing the negotiations as having dragged into the season and trending backward. Other outlets focus more on Edvinsson’s return to his hometown area in Sweden and his continued training there as the start of the season approaches.
Across the coverage, the central points are that Edvinsson is still a restricted free agent without a signed contract, that Detroit has not finalized an agreement, and that Edvinsson’s time in Sweden reflects the ongoing wait while discussions continue.
