The Red Wings have been a little tardy with their videos today, but the Free Press’s Helene St. James has already posted a 4-minute video of an interview she conducted with restricted free agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson. Give it a look…
MLive’s Ansar Khan, the Detroit News’s Ted Kulfan and The Athletic’s Max Bultman also pose questions to Edvinsson about his contract and the fact that he’s “never been through this kind of summer before.”
He also admits that he has seen the groundbreaking high-cap deals and thought about them, but his agent is the one who’s negotiating with the Red Wings right now, and Edvinsson says that he’d feel much more nervous if he was back in Sweden right now.
He says he’s on a pro try-out (PTO) jokingly, and states that he’s in the best shape of his life right now.
