Simon Edvinsson

[RED WINGS STOMP]

More and more starting to show the promise.

Just need to find good cost effective partners for him and Mo.

With how he's trending, I think ASP is likely to be in the top 4, hopefully within 2 years max. Need 1 more left shot D and I feel really good about the blue line going forward.

It will be really interesting to see if the Red Wings go the full home grown route with the top 4. Wallinder certainly has a shot to be that LD.

But that would totally be out of character for the org to put all that youth on the back end.

Yeah he seems to be the best candidate internally, but IMO he needs to really step up this year in GR. Not that I have a specific name in mind, but the Wings are going to have a ton of cap space the next 2 years...maybe the answer is a top LD, even if it's an overpay?

I've been impressed with Simon so far this year. Some mistakes, but that's to be expected. He's looked incredibly poised at times, and is the only other defenseman we have besides Mo that can slow the game down a little bit.

...maybe the answer is a top LD, even if it's an overpay?

Fingers crossed Steve throws some money at Shea Theodore. Having Shea on the top pair with Mo next year, hopefully Ed takes a big step, can anchor his own pairing, and we can roll a 1A/1B type top two pairings, instead of the 3A/3B/3C we've iced for almost a decade.

Last night he had like 3 straight zone denials at the blue line on that late PK. Helped save the game imo and looked really good

This is definitely his year to shine. Ed looks like a top4 staple going forward. Albert has looked alright in his limited showings. ASP continues to impress in Sweden. Might be worth giving the kids the opportunity and throwing some of that free money at a forward.
