Film Room: Simon Edvinsson looks like a future first-pairing defenceman for the Detroit Red Wings 

He'll be on the squad next season

@@iprey4surf i don't think so I think the Wings will probably give him a year in grand rapids to play top minutes and work on his defense. He'll probably get a look on the team towards the end of season though and definitely could earn a spot on the team going forwards

Edvinsson in really good in SHL this season. However I'm very unsure of Cossa. I think it was a mistake to not draft Wahlstedt who I believe is the next Lundqvist. Wahlstedt is having great numbers playing as goalie in the SHL.

@@killacamiscoolio I know Raymond;s case isn't too common for Stevie and company but Edvinsson is playing amazing lately. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows out in training camp and preseason if he doesn't make the squad right away. Gr wouldn't be bad either. But if he's ready, he's ready.

@@iprey4surf don’t plan on that. He’s signed in Sweden until 2023!

Absolutely! Trust the Yzerplan!

Just lol at the dyno he built in Tampa..rolling to a possible....I won't say it..

Glad you liked it!

I agree!

Fix the volume please

We love to see this! Thanks!

I'm no. 13 (of course). But I said the same thing all these years.... The end of the Russian 5, was the end of a potential DYNASTY! Fedorov would have seriously benefited. And it's debatable whether we would have needed Chelios. Fischer was on his way to being a Norris contender, when his career ended. And it was sad and painful to see. It's incredible, that the Wings did as well as they did.... without them. 😔 GO WINGS!!

its been a really long time -i do not recall them being a regular pairing - what i do remember is Lidstrom's game took a step to the next level after playing with Larry Murphy for a couple years . Those two played a more similar game - they both were superior skaters , puck handlers - never thru bone crushing hits but used excellent positioning - and stick skills to defend . But your point that Konstantinov never got to fulfill his promising career is true - he definitely made people think twice about skating with their heads down . I might add that Uwe Kruup had been signed as a free agent - he was a very good dman also - that was never really fullfilled - that is clouded in controversy but the point is the team overcame a lot of hardships on the way to those championships

​@@MagnusOphiuchus-XIII Chelios trade was only done to cover for the loss of Konstantinov - obviously he was considered a short term fix because he was what 38 when that trade was made but obviously his conditioning and overall skill and competitiveness allowed him to be a valuable player for much longer . Still would have been better if Konstantinov would have been able to fulfill his potential - personally i am biased but i thought he was ready for a Norris and maybe a HOF career . still such a tragedy . you are correct Fischer was expected to be the next great - alas he had that heart problem - that is a missed story of the redwings dynasty

If Vladdy was not injured we would have won 3 more cups easily he was a reconing ball and we would of have had Kronwal learning much more from the vlad. ...plus he would have loved Pavel on his team...

@@thirdeyeordie8226 Pavel would have had more time and space to burn opponents.

I prefer hearing hiv, but that's ok

Hope you enjoyed it!

@@EliteProspectsHockey where would you place Simon amongst all active defensive prospects not in the NHL

Glad you enjoyed it!

Good luck!

He's a complimentary piece to Mo Seider's game. Seider is extremely poised and defensively sound and makes next to no mistakes. Ed takes a bit more of the dangerous approach but he's good at it and also activates offensively much more frequently. Their skill sets compliment each other nicely. I wouldn't say they play alot like eachother though.

@@thenickfoxx yeah i was gonna say they're pretty opposite.

Glad you liked it!

@@thenickfoxx this is exactly right.

Great suggestion! We also already have two Film Room articles about him on EP Rinkside: eprinkside.com/2021/10/29/is-william-eklund-already-part-of-san-joses-core eprinkside.com/2021/02/17/why-william-eklund-is-the-no-1-ranked-prospect-on-the-eliteprospects-2021-nhl-draft-board

Curious....do you think they don't have real coaches in the SHL? Because Roger Rönnberg - the head coach in Frölunda, where Edvinsson plays - is one of the best in the business and, not only does have have an abundance of experience developing young talent at an elite level, but he also has the trophy case to back it up. www.eliteprospects.com/staff/155/roger-ronnberg There are plenty of "real" coaches outside the NHL.

Except he's 6'6

Side fact about Paul Coffey. Did you know he wore his skates two sizes too small. He laced his skates up so tight he had to cut the laces to get them off.

@@nicktarnowski7069 I thought so but I read somewhere he was 6’4”

@@nickolaibuck9301 he was on draft day...he grew lol

Now currently 6.5 ft ^^

They will be in the same team? I don’t think so

Hard to say... They would be two absolute beasts I just think Ed would a better point producer at least but very very talented pairing that's so exciting

The positive thing is Simon is doing what Seider was doing in the SHL and Simon is a year younger doing it!

@@rawrsinji pointswise, yes.

Moritz has less holes in his game, edvinsson has more offensive creativity imo

It was a weird draft year due to many leagues not playing because of covid

He should have gone 2nd overall. He was such a great prospect prior to the draft, I honestly think Simon Edvinsson will be the best defensemen out of the 2021 draft.

Several things. Holding onto the puck too long instead of making a timely pass. Getting isolated while with the puck and sending passes to nowhere. Trying to do too much and ultimately being labeled as aggressive and chasing the puck. Not using his skating and body to get into optimal position. From what I read no one discredited his work inside the blueline and ability to shut down opponents.

He didn’t drop that far he was the 6th pick.

I think I read Dallas listed him 1st overall on their list prior the draft.

Frolunda’s logo is cool, but the advertisements are terrible. Lol
