The Story in 60 Seconds

NHL insider Pierre LeBrun has outlined potential trade return comparables if the Detroit Red Wings decide to trade young defenseman Simon Edvinsson. Insiders Elliotte Friedman and LeBrun report that Edvinsson prefers to be dealt following difficult contract extension talks over the summer. Edvinsson, his agent J.P. Barry, and Red Wings general manager Shawn Horcoff recently met in person, though no resolution was reached.

LeBrun pointed to past trades involving Mikhail Sergachev, Noah Dobson, and Bowen Byram as benchmarks for a potential return. Detroit has not yet committed to a permanent trade, as Horcoff still hopes to sign the restricted free agent before the December 1 deadline.
