Simon Edvinsson trade talks involve six NHL teams

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson remains unsigned as contract negotiations with the team have stalled. The 23-year-old restricted free agent has reportedly requested a trade due to the impasse.

Interim General Manager Shawn Horcoff is reportedly engaged in trade discussions with several teams. Six organizations have been identified as being interested in acquiring the 6-foot-6 defenseman: the Nashville Predators, San Jose Sharks, Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues, Montreal Canadiens, and Seattle Kraken.

Edvinsson has recently been training in Nashville with a private coach. This move was reportedly made at the suggestion of Nashville Predators player Filip Forsberg, who shares the same agent as Edvinsson. While the Predators have a local presence, it remains unclear if they hold a significant advantage in the pursuit.
