Todd McLellan urges Red Wings to negotiate with Simon Edvinsson

Todd McLellan publicly called on the Detroit Red Wings to expedite contract negotiations with Simon Edvinsson, who is currently attending training camp without a contract. Edvinsson is practicing under a professional tryout agreement but cannot participate in full-contact scrimmages. McLellan emphasized the organization’s responsibility in the situation, stating Edvinsson’s attendance should not be taken lightly. The Red Wings' management has indicated that signing Edvinsson is a priority following recent leadership changes, and discussions have resumed with his representation. Until a deal is reached, Edvinsson remains without a roster spot or salary.
