Red Wings make multiple moves... Report Reveals SHOCKING trade update | Red Wings News

We have multiple Detroit Red Wings updates to go over today as they have made multiple roster moves ahead of their next game. And we have multiple new trade updates on, yes, Simon Edvinson and Dylan Larkin. Yes, a trade update with Simon Edvinson and the latest from multiple NHL insiders on what the current contract negotiation looks like with Simon Edvinson. We're going to break down all of these new updates and much more, including, yes, they play tonight in a big matchup against the Seattle Kraken and we're going to break that all down and much more in this episode of Red Wings Digest but guys before we jump into all of that we have a quick reminder to hit that subscribe button we've noticed that a large percentage of you guys who watch these videos are not subscribed to the channel so if you want to stay up to date with everything that's happening with the Red Wings we're giving you guys daily updates on everything that's happening with the team from post-game reactions to game previews to trade updates to what's happening with the contract holdouts and all of that all the way to how pissed off fans are with Chris Ilitch so make sure you are subscribed to the channel now first order of business today the Red Wings have made multiple roster moves so they have activated both Chase Stillman and Carter Bear off of the IR because they were both injured in pre-season so they both come off and they're both assigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins in the AHL so they're going to get finally into some action i'm very excited actually to see Carter Bear get into his first pro hockey action as well obviously a great and successful season for him mark i don't know if you have any thoughts on that but before we get to your thoughts i do have to get to something a little bit bigger which is the Simon Edvinson trade saga whatever you want to call it at this point the fact that they're you know looking at different options from now and they do want to sign him they don't want to sign him i don't know Friedman has a weird report going on today but let's get into it okay so Simon Edvinson now is being linked to the Boston Bruins from Pierre So Boston is amongst a long list of teams that have shown interest in Simon Edvinsson and not just that I have heard from Elliott Friedman this morning new episode of 32 Thoughts that they are basically willing to go any contract length with Simon Edvinsson they've talked different you know contract lengths they don't want it to be five years even though they actually offered him that at one point according to some reports because they don't want him and Seider to be up in the same year so if that's the case it is a matter of money then isn't it and that falls back on Chris Elliott once again it's sickening and listen i'm dying with the flu and still get more sick just looking at the reports coming out of Detroit with everything happening again looking at Carterberry very quickly it's going to be fun to watch that kid he's electric if you haven't watched his WHL highlights you don't need to because he's going to show that off at the AHL level but in Edvinsson what we're seeing right now is just greed coming from this ownership again a guy that put it on the line came to camp and showed up when if he got hurt there is that could have ended his career he might have never got a big contract again he legitimately risked himself to get into this lineup and wanting to make a good impression how do they repay him they're still lowballing him from the offers that we've seen about five million dollars earlier this summer last year whatever it was and now with teams starting to pick up exactly what the Red Wings don't want to do they're starting to make offers showing interest i don't even think it's a matter of time I genuinely could see Edmonton and his camp say hey listen we want to be traded not that we've shown interest in maybe going to a new team it genuinely feels at this point now with other teams showing interest if they get into that agency there's a world where Edmonton demands hey I will not sign here ship me out and I want to be gone next week well as we heard a week ago from Elliot Friedman that is actually the case I don't know if it's that is true at this point but I think that we are very close to hey ship me out of here I'm done I want to play before December 1st because if he doesn't sign a contract with someone before December 1st of this year he's going to lose the entire season and there's no way that him and his agent are going to let that happen right he's either going to get traded or he's going to sign with the Red Wings and we'll see what the the contract looks like again I think this ends in a trade at this point that's just my prediction I've been saying it for you know two weeks at this point but um obviously for the betterment of this team they should absolutely sign him there there should be a contract uh getting done here now at least 10 teams have called on Simon Edvinsson I would imagine of course the Boston Bruins being linked there I'd imagine one is the Toronto Maple Leafs, that's one of the worst kept secrets of all time at this point there's a couple other teams involved in that as well. Detroit's preference remains to sign him to a new contract, to get the contract done. Again, I think it's a matter of money at this point. Again, that falls back on, guess who, Chris Ilitch, which as more time goes on, as more reports come out about everything, about the GM search about why certain guys are fired why certain trades and signings don't happen everyone is starting to realize well, maybe Dylan Larkin and Steve Yzerman are not that bad after all, because it is falling all on ownership at this point and term flexibility has not resolved. The salary gap that both of them are talking about it sounds like the Red Wings are far far far too low now we've heard that Edvinsson probably wants 11 or 12 right maybe you don't quite go there but it sounds like the Red Wings are not budging off of like eight eight and a half at this point which if you're signing long term for Edvinsson doesn't really make much sense anyway we have a couple other updates to get to as well so on Dylan Larkin there's no real um you know resolution at this point he's just kind of showing up and playing games and i think it's become pretty apparent that you know it's going to be at some point time to move on here right like you got to get a contract or sorry a trade done i'm thinking of Simon Evans and stuff but you have to get a trade done here now we've heard that they want basically an apples for apples trade right that's not going to happen with any contending team and any contending team is looking for Dylan Larkin like you're not trading Dylan Larkin to a rebuilding team right you're trading him to a contending team and they're not going to trade you apples for apples right so this organization continues to prove that they have no idea what they're doing or what they want with that now Kevin Allen reported that Detroit's scouting staff was at the Minnesota Wild's games this week so they're looking at that that's also a really bad kept secret even from the summer we know that if there was a most likely outcome here in terms of a trade and destination it is the Minnesota Wild with Dylan Larkin we've also heard that he's expanded his list from three during the summer to eight to ten teams so kind of like the Connor Hellebuyck situation where he's more open to certain destinations we've also heard that if Montreal and Edmonton were were on that list it would be done already is what we've heard as well but Mark do you have any thoughts on this because ultimately he's playing well but uh i think at some point you look you probably look for a trade here right and you probably have to reel back a little bit on what uh you're looking for in terms of return i'm not saying get fleeced here but i'm saying nobody's going to trade you their first line center for Dylan Larkin that that just doesn't exist in the league and i think at the end of the day is looking at this team if we've seen Sean Horakoff come out earlier this week or at some point recently and say hey we made a trade or we made a signing at least he was doing something but now you have two massive things that are not being done and you're genuinely wondering if anyone's even working in that office or if that interim tag was just kind of like a little slap just to say here you go you've been with the organization for a bit don't need to show up to work today because you might as well not because nothing's getting damn done in this organization but going to Larkin this is very interesting because Minnesota makes the most sense of course the Florida Panthers names popped up with Barkov and Mrazek going down both guys at least aren't going to miss a ton of time they got good clearance on their injuries so it seems like maybe that falls out of the order again like you said Montreal and the Oilers are two teams that would have made this already if he was willing to go there but I think teams like Utah are soon going to start popping up I'm sure that's a team as well that would have it done if he was willing to go there and I think it's truly going to come down to maybe Larkin just expanding the list by one or two more teams maybe that's all it takes the Boston Bruins a team like that Pavel Zacha's name constantly pops up maybe that makes sense in a swap of course you're getting more coming back this way but there is it's an ongoing thing and I genuinely don't even know if it's to blame Larkin for having to shorten the list or if it's just incompetence coming from ownership and management where they genuinely think hey this guy's value is this we're not coming down no matter what part of the season or what part of the season we're in we want that one seat back for Dylan Larkin and I think that's good to a degree you want to stay firm on on things like that sometimes but at the end of the day like we know the situation that's here again i'm not saying to bend and you're asking a trade right but uh or what i'm trying to say is you can still get a good return out there that does include some futures but you have to go that way right you have to go and open yourself up to that flexibility in terms of trade return instead of hey anyone that we're trading him to please give us your first line center like that really wouldn't exist on Utah by the way because you bring up Utah i think that's interesting Utah was looking for a center in the offseason apparently they were kicking tires and then one guy added them to his trade list and that was Vincent Trocheck and they traded for him so they were looking for center help and uh i'm not so sure that that's the case anymore now the Red Wings one thing with Dylan Larkin is he's still a good player now as you can see here they're not uh trending in a good way right now in terms of the Atlantic Division last place right now with two points right behind the Montreal Canadiens which is pretty shocking out of the gate as well but um Dylan Larkin has still been playing quite well now they face off tonight at home against the Seattle Kraken so that's going to be a big matchup this is what they currently look like right now there's a lot of interesting lineup decisions going on right now we don't know exactly what's going on with the fourth line there have been some injuries so far this season to players Casper right and some kind of vague uh you know timelines as well this is kind of what Seattle looks like heading into tonight's game as well in terms of their lineup and what everything's looking like heading into the game now Larkin in his career against Seattle not horrible they don't always you know play each other that often Seattle is also a newer team in the league compared to when Dylan Larkin came into the league but i am expecting uh another pretty big game from him right i did like in his debut the game that we saw from him so i'm expecting another big game from him he was able to turn those boos into cheers and then again i think most of the fan bases was just showing their frustration earlier in the season in you know uh the arena but at the same time a lot of people realize this falls back especially after the LinkedIn post from Chris Ilitch that this does fall back on ownership so Mark any final thoughts before the game tonight uh because you know Seattle's coming in feeling pretty good about themselves as well but uh including Jordan Everly but um big game for the Red Wings again tonight if they have any hope of staying in this Atlantic Division especially you know coming out of the gate hot like the Atlantic Division is going to be a gauntlet all season but again no resolution on Simon Edvinsson no resolution on Dylan Larkin it's it's starting to get to a point where you're like the team's not performing you have no idea what you're doing what are we doing here i want to give credit to Dylan Larkin because it could be the similar situation where we're seeing Connor Hellebuyck not report to camp he's suspended not playing games at least Dylan Larkin showed his face at that season opener and of course wasn't the greatest welcoming for the former captain when he entered that arena with the fans but this is a guy that showed up has played a game played good in that game got scrappy in that game he's still putting his body on the line for this franchise again don't love the trade request don't love the fact that he's not expanding the list but it could always be worse Connor Hellebuyck is legitimately sitting home eating chips and losing money as the Jets are losing games but at the end of the day something has to give and i think it's generally a domino effect one thing happens if that's a DeBrincat an Edvinsson signing or maybe a Dylan Larkin trade I think it starts the traction with Detroit but it's a matter of if that even happens at this point and if they even get to trade deadline with any of this done yeah and uh last thing here before the game tonight let us know in the comments actually who you think is going to win score predictions all that fun stuff in the comments below uh the Red Wings come in with a power play that is about middle of the pack in the league penalty kill absolutely atrocious so those are things that they need to get under control as well but guys let us know how you feel in the comments below a lot going on with the Red Wings over the last little while or maybe not a lot actually because there's no action there's no actionables being done but let us know how you feel in the comments below we'll see you for another video tomorrow
