Will Simon Edvinsson make the team?
The sixth overall selection in 2021 is big (6-6, 207), mobile, skilled and by most accounts, NHL-ready. Can he beat out veteran Olli Maatta for a spot in the top four (joining Moritz Seider, Ben Chiarot and Filip Hronek)? If not, would the Red Wings be OK using Edvinsson on the third pairing, where his minutes would be limited? Or would they prefer to start him in Grand Rapids, where he would log a lot of ice time and play an important role in all situations?
