Reading some comments about him, I dunno
His decision making, puck handling and offensive power are a bit questionable. He is good defensively, using his stick and his skating ability. Shows flashes of high ceiling. Wildcard with the puck. Bit of a risky pick.
I’m curious about the raw potential in Simon Edvinsson’s refined defensive talent and if he can learn to manage the puck with more confidence and consistency. While he is not the flashiest player, and certainly not without issues, Edvinsson is a player that adds defensive stability and offensive potential that could be a great add to the massive stable of future talent in grey and black. He's got strong defensive acumen more often than not, and if his puck management comes along and he gets more comfortable surveying the ice and executing his decisions, he could be great. Edvinsson's game has certainly settled down as the year goes on. He's a player who can be a ton of fun to watch until he isn't. His puck management needed to simplify far more often, and that seems to be happening, but he's unafraid to attack the neutral zone with skill and power through his skating. His ability to shut down defensive transitions is highly underrated. Risky, absolutely. Stash him in Sweden for a few years and continue to work on his fundamentals, and there could be a really interesting two-way defenseman.
