Tweets of note: A peek behind the EliteProspects paywall re: Simon Edvinsson

EliteProspects conducted an interview with Red Wings prospect Simon Edvinsson, and while it’s “locked” behind a paywall, they shared some highlights on Twitter:

A lot of top NHL prospects decided to skip the 2022 #WorldJuniors to prepare for upcoming training camps this fall.

Simon Edvinsson will be in the NHL soon, but he explained why he made the decision to play at the tournament for Sweden first.

Edvinsson: “I can only speak for myself, but I said it’s an opportunity, I haven’t played at World Juniors before. It was cancelled. A little bit different from from the other ones because it’s in the summer. But yeah, I see this opportunity. I want to play for Sweden, win gold.”ā€” Elite Prospects (@eliteprospects) August 11, 2022

Edvinsson cont’d: “So yeah, that was my decision. I talked to Detroit about it. We had a conversation and yeah, everything went good. So focused on this tournament now. And after that, go back to Detroit.”ā€” Elite Prospects (@eliteprospects) August 11, 2022
