What have the San Jose Sharks offered the Detroit Red Wings for Simon Edvinsson<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Elliotte Friedman reported on Friday that the San Jose Sharks<\/a> had made a \u201cserious offer\u201d, which was rejected.<\/p>\n

A source told San Jose Hockey Now: \u201cFilip Bystedt<\/a>, Igor Chernyshov<\/a>, and Keaton Verhoeff<\/a> were all up for grabs, but I don\u2019t know the combination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharks tools<\/p>\n

While that\u2019s an enviable collection of talent, it does make sense why the Red Wings rejected that.<\/p>\n

According to Friedman, Detroit is looking for a young center.<\/p>\n

Bystedt, 22, is a talented center and was a 2022 first-round pick, but he\u2019s also been a bit of a project, who finally just made his NHL debut.<\/p>\n

On the San Jose Sharks, 2023 No. 4 pick Will Smith<\/a> and 2025 No. 2 pick Michael Misa profile as the realistic pivots who could be the centerpiece in a blockbuster trade, but it sounds like they\u2019re not on the table so far. <\/p>\n

Bystedt is more of a complementary asset for a defenseman of Edvinsson\u2019s caliber.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chernyshov and Verhoeff are certainly significant assets and worthy centerpieces of a \u201cserious offer\u201d. But Chernyshov is a winger and Verhoeff is a defenseman.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably why Detroit hasn\u2019t done it,\u201d SJHN\u2019s source indicated.<\/p>\n

Chernyshov, 20, is already an NHL force, a fast, powerful, and skilled 6-foot-3 winger, who\u2019s already posted 11 goals and 23 points in 39 games with the San Jose Sharks, over parts of two seasons.<\/p>\n

Verhoeff was the No. 9 pick of the 2026 Draft. Offering Verhoeff makes sense, as this No. 9 selection, originally acquired from the Ottawa Senators for William Eklund, was earmarked for top young defenseman Bowen Byram, who was eventually dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks for the No. 4 selection. Verhoeff is a 6-foot-4 right-hander, who\u2019s gotten off to a slow start with the University of North Dakota with two assists in six games.<\/p>\n

So no doubt, while Sharks GM Mike Grier appears to be holding back some of his very best trade assets \u2014 NHL scouts don\u2019t necessarily see Simon Edvinsson<\/a> as a future No. 1 defenseman, but more as a No. 2 \u2014 San Jose has come strong to the table for the 6-foot-6 shutdown left-hander, who\u2019s just 23.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s San Jose Hockey Now\u2019s understanding, also, that top young defenseman Sam Dickinson isn\u2019t on the table, so far.<\/p>\n

It could be, to some degree, a game of chicken. <\/p>\n

RFA Edvinsson must sign by Dec. 1 to play this season. Interim Red Wings GM Shawn Horcoff has stated, on multiple occasions, that he\u2019d like to re-sign Edvinsson. But if Edvinsson continues to want out, there aren\u2019t a lot of premier young centers available on the market.<\/p>\n
