According to a report from Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman on Saturday night, defenseman Simon Edvinsson would prefer to be traded out of Detroit, as opposed to the current stalemate the two parties are currently in.

Edvinsson and the Red Wings have been in a contract stalemate for several months, as the defenseman became a restricted free agent on July 1st, but the two parties have yet to agree on a new contract. He had reported to training camp last month out of good faith with the team, but after talks continued to stall, he returned home to Sweden.
