The Detroit Red Wings are reportedly considering a trade that would send defenseman Simon Edvinsson to the Minnesota Wild. In return, the Red Wings would receive Norris Trophy winner Quinn Hughes and forward Yakov Trenin. The deal aims to address Edvinsson's contract situation, as he remains unsigned and needs to sign by December 1 to participate this season. Detroit currently has significant cap space while Minnesota is facing financial challenges. Interim GM Shawn Horcoff recently expressed a desire to retain Edvinsson, complicating the potential trade.
