Simon Edvinsson: NHL teams inquire about Red Wings defenseman

Several NHL teams have expressed interest in Detroit Red Wings restricted free agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson. The Toronto Maple Leafs have reportedly inquired about the player as they seek defensive reinforcements, though insiders suggest the asking price from Detroit may be too high for the club to meet without depleting significant prospect capital.

The San Jose Sharks have also been linked to Edvinsson through a reported “serious offer.” Discussions between the two organizations allegedly involved a package of young prospects, including Filip Bystedt, Igor Chernyshov, and Keaton Verhoeff. However, the Red Wings reportedly turned down the proposal, as Detroit is seeking a young, NHL-quality center in exchange for the defenseman.
