Simon Edvinsson trade proposals emerge for Detroit Red Wings

Simulated trade proposals have surfaced involving Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson, who is currently in a contract holdout and has not played this season.

One proposal via the PuckGM simulator suggests a deal between Detroit and the Boston Bruins. In this scenario, Edvinsson would move to Boston in exchange for defenseman Mason Lohrei, a 2027 first-round pick originally belonging to Toronto, and a 2028 Bruins second-round pick.

A second proposal involves the Toronto Maple Leafs, suggesting Edvinsson and a 2027 fifth-round pick be sent to Toronto for Ben Danford, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Miles Wood, and a 2027 second-round pick. However, this specific pitch faced significant criticism from fans, with 92% of voters rejecting the deal due to the perceived lack of value in the return for Detroit and the high salary cap hit Edvinsson is expected to command.
