kipwinger 8,557 Report post Posted February 6, 2023 Simon Edvinsson just turned 20 today. That's wild. He's playing amazing hockey right now too. Dude's got points in his last 5 games (give or take) and he's an absolute rock defensively. The Athletic has Detroit in their top five ranked prospect pools in the NHL (again) and this dude is a big reason why. I'm looking forward to seeing if he finishes strong down the stretch, but regardless of that he's a lock for the roster next year. You love to see it.

The guy's an absolutely monster. And he's still got so much more filling out to go. Our team is about to be so hard to play against in a couple of years. I love where this iteration of the Red Wings is headed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AJ has quietly been putting up a lot more points lately too. Less flashy, but that kid is a stud. He's already been a go-to guy for eating minutes. Now the scoring is coming along too. In terms of playing a solid, all-around game, I do think he is more NHL -ready at this stage. Though if Edvinsson keeps it up, he'll be good enough to work out the remaining kinks at the NHL level next season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I saw GR on Jan. 4th he and McIsaac were the go-to defensive pair for the Griffins. They were sent out for every important situation. He definitely plays a very trustworthy game, if he can add some of the offense he had in Sweden he'll be a quality NHLer. But as it is he has excellent analytics and strong defensive play. Reminds me a bit of Nick Jensen in that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think wed need to give up 2 firsts, AJ, and a lesser developed prospect. If we could go 2023 1st, 2025 1st, Johansson, and Lombardi, would you pull the trigger?

Arizona wouldn't be able to accept that offer quickly enough. And we kind of need that 2023 1st to address the lack of high-end talent up front. I think Johansson will be a great partner for Seider at some point. Then you'll have Edvinsson anchor the second pairing. Tough to play against for damn sure.

Player 1: 24 years old (will turn 25 in a month) 4.6 million dollar salary, 2 more years .7 ppg this season .45 ppg for his career. 90th percentile offensively and defensively (above replacement) analytically Player 2: (Just turned) 25 years old 4.4 million dollar salary, 1 more year .7 ppg this season .52 ppg for his career 90th percentile offensively and defensively (above replacement) analytically One of these player is Jakob Chychrun and one of them is Filip Hronek. So ask yourself, would you give up two 1st, a top AHL defensive prospect, and a promising young center prospect who's top ten in OHL scoring for Filip Hronek? If not, then Chychrun probably isn't worth that either. Edited February 6, 2023 by kipwinger 3 ely s, HockeytownUW and Akakabuto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like top 4 defensemen grow on trees. Chychrun-Seider, Edvinsson-Hronek, Wallinder-Grans. Yes please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we're talking about acquiring a young, top-line center, I'm all ears on giving up those kinds of assets. Even then, you try and limit things to one first rounder.

Flip guys like Erne, Sunny, Suter, etc for whatever you can get... retain salary, etc and bring up some guys like Elmer and Vrana (iffy I know). I view this TDL as the year where we purge older vets, and give good stretch run time to some kids... if they go on a run great, if not they get experience and a head start on next season. 1 redw1ngs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suter, Erne, Osterle, Haag, Sundqvist can all go. I wont be unhappy if Bertuzzi, Zadina, Perron, and Kubalik are traded, either. Vrana - Larkin - Raymond Berggren - Kasper - ?
