Simon Edvinsson's Contract Standstill Continues

According to per reports from The Athletic, Simon Edvinsson will report to Red Wings training camp without a signed contract in place. This development is further complicated by the ongoing absence of a permanent general manager, leaving it unclear who is leading negotiations on behalf of the team at present.

This move seems like a pretty clear indication that the Red Wings are serious about locking Edvinsson up long-term - otherwise, they'd likely just send him back to Frolunda for further development.
