Edvinsson Set to Join Red Wings Camp Without New Contract
The 23-year-old Swedish defenceman, a restricted free agent, wants Detroit to name a new GM before resuming contract talks ahead of training camp.
Simon Edvinsson plans to report to the Detroit Red Wings' training camp without a new contract, according to journalist Pierre LeBrun.
The 23-year-old Swedish defenceman is a restricted free agent and wants a new general manager in place in Detroit before resuming talks on a fresh deal.
Last season the defenceman put up 25 points (9+15) with a plus-12 rating in 72 regular-season games for the Red Wings, averaging 22:22 of ice time.
Until Detroit fills the general manager's post, his contract situation looks set to stay unresolved, and he may open camp playing for a new deal rather than against one.
