Simon Edvinsson Saga Is Latest Missed Chance for Red Wings to Change the Conversation

Detroit defenseman Simon Edvinsson has departed for Sweden to practice with Frölunda after failing to agree on a new deal with the franchise as a restricted free agent. Interim general manager Shawn Horcoff faces mounting pressure following this development, especially with the regular season opener approaching against the New York Rangers.

Meanwhile, veteran center Dylan Larkin has been officially ruled out for the first pair of contests and his trade status remains uncertain. The club is also navigating an ongoing postseason drought alongside unresolved contract situations for players like forward Alex DeBrincat following the previous departure of Steve Yzerman.
