RD Simon Edvinsson - Grand Rapids Griffins., AHL (2021, 6th, DET)

[theslatcher]

All he needs to work on is his consistency. As a wings fan we are incredible blessed to have him and Sieder.

His shot too.

His shot too.

This was the same complaint for Seider too and he's doing just fine

You do realize Seider worked on his shot last season?

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Supposedly working with Kronwall is a big part of how Seider improved his shot. Considering Edvinsson is working with him now, I think he's in the right developmental situation.

Unreal player. Will be a dominant player very soon

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Looks like a Hedman clone.

 

[bsu]

He looks like a huge version of Dahlin at times lol. He's a unicorn type player, I hope he reaches his full potential.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Is the plan that he comes over next season to Detroit?

Is the plan that he comes over next season to Detroit?

He’ll be in Detroit or Grand Rapids

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Is the plan that he comes over next season to Detroit?

According to both Niklas Kronwall and Dan Cleary, He'll either be in Detroit or Grand Rapids next season. This is his final year in the Swedish league.

Dekeyser, Leddy and Staal are all free agents next year. I could see them re signing Leddy but it seems like there should be jobs open. Worst case hes in Grand Rapids and will get some games as a call up. No way hes in Sweden next year with how hes been playing so far this year

Multiple observers in Sweden have called him a mix of Hedman and Dahlin and I think that's pretty accurate in terms of describing his tools.

I don’t think he’s as talented of a hockey player as Dahlin. But very very few people are.

Yeah that makes sense. I dont see Dahlin when I watch Edvinsson. Sure he'll rush the puck and stuff but I dont see the dynamic offense Dahlin had when he was coming up. I think Edvinsson is more of a two way player and the Hedman comparison makes the most sense. Huge, elite skater that does everything at a really, really high level

Edvinsson is also physical.

Did Hedman have a heavy shot at this age?

I remember watching Hedman when he was coming up, Dana Tyrell took a run at him in a WOrld Junior pretourney game and knocked himself out of the tourney with a knee injury. I remember thinking it was obvious Hedman was a stud, but I honestly cant remember what I thought about his shot at the time

I feel like Edvinsson's offense is a bit underrated right now because he can't finish. He's not as refined offensively as Dahlin was, but he's got shades of the same type of stuff with the way he dance through traffic. Difference is Edvinsson doesn't end those rushes with a snipe top corner but instead a muffin to the pads.

I also like Edvinssons offense a lot, more than most. But he doesn't have generational, unheard of offensive IQ like Dahlin. Dahlin has better hands, creativity, shooting and passing.

That's kind of a big deal.

That's essentially the difference between Darren Helm and Dylan Larkin.

There are plenty of elite offensive defencemen without good shooting ability.

If his shot doesn't improve in the next 5-10 years, sure.

Has covid. Asymptomatic.

Yup, that's been his only real knock since before his draft year. Scouts knew he was an athletic and has spectacular toolbox, but he needs to work on consistency for it to translate to his potential and long career. He has biggest ceiling/floor contrast of the top, top D prospects.

And that's a compliment when you realize that his floor is also higher than that of many of the top D prospects as well. Because he's already able to play sound defense and executing controlled breakouts at a high level in the SHL.
