Red Wings propose trade to send Simon Edvinsson to Islanders

The Detroit Red Wings have proposed a trade that would send defenseman Simon Edvinsson to the New York Islanders in a seven-player deal. This trade aims to address Detroit's recent struggles, having lost three consecutive games and four of their last five. Edvinsson, a 23-year-old restricted free agent, is seeking a new contract worth $9 million to $11 million annually. The deal would also involve moving winger Dylan James and defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker to the Islanders while bringing in blueliner Alexander Romanov and three prospects to Detroit. There is ongoing interest in Edvinsson from multiple teams, complicating his contractual situation with the Red Wings.
