Defenseman Simon Edvinsson is conditioning in Nashville due to his connection with Filip Forsberg and is training with Junior Predators coach Tim McAllister. As a December 1 contract deadline approaches, the Swedish blueliner has drawn trade interest while currently remaining unsigned with the Detroit Red Wings.

Writer Nate Duffett argues that Nashville Predators general manager Chris MacFarland should target Edvinsson by offering forward Brady Martin and a first-round draft pick. Duffett notes that Detroit's high asking price complicates a trade, but Edvinsson could leverage his contract extension to help facilitate a move to Nashville.
