The San Jose Sharks are one of the teams rumored to be interested in Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson.
Who wouldn’t be? The 23-year-old defenseman, still an unsigned RFA, has averaged over 20 minutes per night the last two seasons. Edvinsson is 6-6, had 25 points in 72 games last season, and is considered a shutdown defenseman.
Insider Pierre LeBrun recently said that there’s up to 10 teams interested and named the Sharks and Boston Bruins among them.

“He feels this has dragged out so long that the most logical option for him is probably a trade,” LeBrun reported.
It was reported earlier this month that Edvinsson “prefers” a trade away from Detroit. The former sixth-overall pick even reported to training camp without a contract but wasn’t re-signed by interim GM Shawn Horcoff.
Simon Edvinsson would become the Sharks’ top defenseman, but it would cost a lot to acquire him.
