The San Jose Sharks have made a \u201cserious\u201d offer for Simon Edvinsson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to Elliotte Friedman, in Friday\u2019s 32 Thoughts column<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe talks with the Sharks are substantive,\u201d Friedman wrote, \u201cwith at least one serious offer between them \u2014 an offer that was not accepted by Detroit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharks tools<\/p>\n

Friedman said he had heard that the Boston Bruins, Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, and Seattle Kraken had also taken a \u201clong look\u201d at Edvinsson, among other teams.<\/p>\n

He also added that the Red Wings have been asking about young centers.<\/p>\n

For the San Jose Sharks, realistically, that\u2019s 19-year-old Michael Misa<\/a>, 22-year-old Filip Bystedt<\/a>, or 23-year-old Zack Ostapchuk<\/a>. 21-year-old Will Smith<\/a>, who\u2019s played mostly wing in his NHL career, was drafted as a center.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind, that\u2019s pure speculation, on my part.<\/p>\n

But likely, only 2023 No. 4 pick Smith or 2025 No. 2 pick Misa would qualify as \u201ccenterpieces\u201d in a potential Edvinsson deal. Bystedt and Ostapchuk are more solid complementary assets in a blockbuster.<\/p>\n

Edvinsson appears to be a fantastic fit for the San Jose Sharks. The 6-foot-6 Swede is just 23, and he\u2019s already a bona fide top-four defenseman, with the potential to be a top-pairing blueliner for a long time.<\/p>\n

But at what cost to the Sharks?<\/p>\n

This should all come to a head soon: Edvinsson is an RFA, who must be signed by Dec. 1 to play this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Jose Sharks have made a \u201cserious\u201d offer for Simon Edvinsson.
