Edvinsson was reassigned to AHL Grand Rapids on Sunday, Ansar Khan of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Red Wings have high hopes for Edvinsson, as he was their sixth overall pick from the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. However, an assist represented his lone point and he skated to a minus-2 rating through five preseason games. Moving the 6-foot-6 defender to the AHL is still considered a big step forward after he spent parts of three seasons playing in his native Sweden. Edvinsson should play extensively with the AHL's Griffins.

Edvinsson signed a three-year, entry level contract with the Red Wings on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Edvinsson's contract will begin with the 2022-23 season. The 19-year-old Swede could push for a spot with the big club right away considering he was selected sixth overall in 2021 and Detroit is one of the NHL's most defensively challenged teams.

Edvinsson (upper body) was back in Swedish Hockey League action Saturday, tallying an assist for Frolunda en route to a 3-0 win.

EDGE Analysis

There are rumblings that Edvinsson, whom the Wings drafted sixth overall in 2021, could debut in the NHL as early as next season, therefore it's no surprise to see careful tracking of his injuries. The 19-year-old phenom has generated a goal and 12 assists through 30 games with Frolunda this season.

Edvinsson (upper body) will miss Frolunda's next two games, Max Bultman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edvinsson has been solid this season with 12 points in 26 games, and he added a goal and two assists at the World Juniors before that tournament was canceled. It's unclear if Edvinsson's absence will last longer than two games. The Swede was taken sixth overall by the Red Wings in the 2021 draft.
