That kid is incredible... Him with Seider would be the next best 1st Dmen pairing in the NHL as simple as that ! Strong defensively smart with the puck and not to forget Albert Johansson and Wallinder both have an amazing season as well the Wings has so many talent at D and long time it did not happen...
His style seemed so familiar to me, but I couldn't put it together until watching some highlights last night... Edvinsson reminds me of Paul Coffey. His superior skating, willingness to lead or join the rush, stick handling ability, sneaky good shot, comfort behind the opposing goal line, yet ability to just float back into position to make the defensive play. I'm really looking forward to seeing him next to Seider on the Wings blue line.
YES X100. Seriously though, I got a little chill up my neck when I read that because you are spot on. Not only the skating but those outlet passes from the faceoff circles! Total Coffey vibes.
OMFG he is good! Can’t remember a player who is 6’5” and is dominating with his skating. I knew he was good pick by wings but I thought that he is more like elite shutdown D who can defend with his skating and long reach. I was so wrong..He really have upside to be one of the best all around defenceman in the NHL. He have everything: Size, agility, cap control, stick skills, hockey IQ, confidence..all those abilities are ELITE. I love this player!
Yes, I think he will be more known for his offensive output than his defensive play, something like Victor Hedman. They're great defensively, but they're just so good offensivey that thats what everyone will talk about.
Also, it's no secret that the Red Wings have one of the greatest scouts in the entire league. And with Yzerman bringing some of his fellow scouts he had in Tampa it's even more lethal. Just like at Mo Seider lol. Yzerman got a better defensmen at 6th than Rasmus dahlin at 1. Let that sink in
HOW SWEET IT IS😁 Last year I was watching these same clips of Swedes gushing over Seider...now Im watching them gush over Edvinsson. Stevie Y is Detroit's Jesus🙏
Yzerman? Hakan Andersson is the Swedish scout. And Lidstrom i head chief of the scouts. Hakan just call Detroit every time he wants one and detroit say you got it. Datsumyuk. Zetterberg. Holmstrom and 1000 players more is Hakan Andersson’s finds
Wow I was thinking Edvinsson was more of a defensive defensemen but boy was I wrong. He has crazy good hands, and his skating is astonishing to watch. He is only 18, and looks like he can turn into a "Makar" like offensive defensemen. It's great for Red Wings fans. Between him and Elmer Soderblom, the Wings have something special cooking up and don't get it mistaken.
IceHockeyGifs, another great video sir! Thank you so much for sharing this content as most of us don’t get to see any of our SHL prospects play. I just had a quick question about Edvinsso, how bad was the concussion he went through recently that was keeping him out? Has he looked any different/less sharp in his play noticeably since coming back? And then just wondering if it may have long term effects on his career or potential? Thanks again for the videos!
Detroit has a tendency to develop their prospects for a few yrs edvinsonn will most likely get sent down to the AHL but if he does wel in the prospect tournament does well at training camp red and white game and also does well at pre season he could do a raymond but most likely its the AHL for our boy here
I see more of a Oliver Ekman-Larsson or Victor Hedman type with his current style of play. Lidstrom? I don't know, as there were different sets of intangibles. Nick had amazing positioning and able to read plays in space, yes a good skater but he did not press as much on the offensive rush like todays dmen are expected do. Nick had a better shot selection.
The most underrated part about Nick was his shot from the blue line. I love how you say shot selection too because that plays a huge part into it. Always seemed like he would find a new creative way to rip a one timer or snapper that would either A) find homers stick or B)torch the back of the net
I don't think it's fair to compare ANYBODY to a guy many call "the perfect defenseman". To top that off I remember Babcock called him "the perfect human being"! Lol perfection like that is hard to reach. We may never see the likes of it again.
Meh maybe OEK is a good comparison, Victor Hedman though? yeah idk, Edvinsson seems to have better hands, and his skating seems to have a higher upside. In some of these clips you'd think he was a forward with how he keeps the puck away from defenders. Like his skating looks next level.
What's best, a two-pronged answer from me here. NHL, Since we won't see Staal and DeKeyser next season here (hopefully) . GR , start in AHL aint gone be a bad idea neither, since a year down there will prepare him perfectly. I thought two to four years before he's fully ready for the NHL, though he might as well do it next year since we will be in rebuilding and that experience is also beneficial to him here.
Not much of a finisher. Would like to see more slapshots and less wristers thrown at the net. Needs to go behind the net more instead of throwing the puck into a pile up in front of the net. With his reach and ability to glide and dissolve space the way he does that would be helpful. Wrap around and break the pile up. Tries too often to make something out of nothing and not often choosing the highest percentage play. A bit puck hoggish. The good: You always gotta love seeing a big man with great hands. He glides along the ice and the ice just seems to vanish in front of him. Seems to be everywhere and involved in everything. Wonderful passer, and not afraid to get his nose dirty. Plays with his head up and has great size. His Detroit teammates wont like the hoggish play and thinking he's a forward and the only person on the ice. Detroit will work nonstop to correct any negative habits he has. Little bit different scenario for most defensemen as he needs more refinements than polish. He's pretty polished already and playing in a top 5 league and doing quite well. Detroit has had some bad teams the last half decade (and somehow never getting a top pick) and was forced to rush a few other young players. They can take a little (stress little) time with him in the AHL for a season. However, Detroit needs to add to their buzz they have now and get Detroiters back to loving Hockey again. I'd expect to see him full time in Detroit in 2023-2024. I love how Yzerman is not going after "good" forwards and instead getting great D-men and a great Goalie. We had years of drafting good, but not great forwards and that simply will not win championships. The rookies are playing great in Detroit and its even woken up Larkin some. I expect them to wear down after the All-star break though.
Stellar compilation! You are practically the awood40 of Red Wings Euro prospects. Glad you're chronicling our prospects career rise.
Couldn’t have said it better
Dude that pass
Can't wait for him to be in red and white maybe next year
Oh man, paired with Seider maybe too! 👍
@@ajmpatriot4899 I think they’d be split most likely to even out the defense. Both given older players

@@derick-smith Just as smooth a skater.
Blocks the shot, beats the shooter to the puck, nice! The passing and skating are off the charts!
Simon and Mo are going to be fighting over the Norris trophy for years! Wings fans, get ready!
Nice video. I appreciate you taking your time and everyday doing videos about European prospects. Respect! ✊🏻
He can help us right now!! What a talent
He’s probably better than half our defense already. Great video

Hedman is that dude
Reminds me of Larry Robinson,can't wait to see him playing for the Red Wings.
You deserve way more followers man
We’ve already got Seider who is incredible!
TWO defenseman like this on our team??!! (Detroit)
Wow!
Great video!!! 👍

@@jleif7736 I think Yzerman brought the great scouts with him. If you look at our drafting with Holland, it was, well, no so great.
@@jleif7736 Specifically in the last 5-10 years when he was GM
HOW SWEET IT IS😁 Last year I was watching these same clips of Swedes gushing over Seider...now Im watching them gush over Edvinsson. Stevie Y is Detroit's Jesus🙏
Praised be his name !
Yzerman? Hakan Andersson is the Swedish scout. And Lidstrom i head chief of the scouts. Hakan just call Detroit every time he wants one and detroit say you got it. Datsumyuk. Zetterberg. Holmstrom and 1000 players more is Hakan Andersson’s finds
This was stellar! Kid looks like a true gem and staple for our Wings! #WingNut
Dearest Hockey gods, May our prospects pan out and may they only wear the Wheel.
in Gordie's name, Amen.

Please do one of these for Sodoerblom
You should have a closer look at Calle Själin, Lian Bichsel, Isak Rosén, Nils Åman and Emil Heineman, all are in Leksands IF.
Alexander Lundqvist is also awesome.
Odds he’s on the red wings next season?
Detroit has a tendency to develop their prospects for a few yrs edvinsonn will most likely get sent down to the AHL but if he does wel in the prospect tournament does well at training camp red and white game and also does well at pre season he could do a raymond but most likely its the AHL for our boy here
@@kanyesouvenir9906 I could see a full year in GR.
I see more of a Oliver Ekman-Larsson or Victor Hedman type with his current style of play.
Lidstrom? I don't know, as there were different sets of intangibles. Nick had amazing positioning and able to read plays in space, yes a good skater but he did not press as much on the offensive rush like todays dmen are expected do.
Nick had a better shot selection.
Nic had the best hand-eye coordination of all time. He could knock a puck out of the air like an eagle could strike a trout out of the water.
The most underrated part about Nick was his shot from the blue line. I love how you say shot selection too because that plays a huge part into it. Always seemed like he would find a new creative way to rip a one timer or snapper that would either A) find homers stick or B)torch the back of the net

You’re as vital to redwing’s fans as Hakan Andersson
The YZERPLAN!!
SHL, AHL or NHL next year? What would be best for his development?
What's best, a two-pronged answer from me here.

@@billjohansson88 I’m thinking AHL too, if he’s better than we think, I could see some games for Detroit
He should start taking German lessons and Mo should start taking Swedish lesson. Might come in handy.
Most definitely

Rasmussen was drafted in the top 10 in 2017. Last time the wings drafted in the top 10 was 1991 Martin LaPointe. 26 years. We’re due.
@@MetalDetroit well, Seider and Raymond were top 10 picks
