ESPN’s Shilton, Wyshynski wonder whether Simon Edvinsson might make a non-NHL-participating Swedish Olympic team

ESPN’s Kristen Shilton and Greg Wyshynski posted a list of possible non-NHL Olympic participants for the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, and they wonder aloud whether the Swedes might be bold enough to add a star-in-the-making who’s Red Wings property;

Simon Edvinsson, D. The sixth overall pick in the 2021 draft by the Detroit Red Wings, he has 12 points in 21 games with Frölunda HC. But will the Tre Kronor add an 18-year-old?

Continued; if you missed it, SVT posted a great Swedish-language video profile of Edvinsson earlier today.

  1. Nice thought… but I think they have more than enough depth at every position, …more Xmas Cheer, pls.

    The WJC has trimmed the fans at the arena down to 50% Max. Having gone to a couple of WJC events , I think ticket packages including all teams were sold, refund refund. USA, Canada are sold out I would assume. If I had a ticket to a Canada vs USA or any game this would be tough to take away 50% of the tickets from USA and/or Canada as the WJC is in Canada.
