Why Signing Simon Edvinsson Could Make or Break the Detroit Red Wings’ Future
Simon Edvinsson and Alexander Nikishin are Benefiting from Rising Market
As Dave Pagnotta of the Fourth Period reported on the DFO Rundown Insider Podcast, the initial offer to Edvinsson was less than half of Zeev Buium‘s AAV. Buium has an AAV of $9.38 million on an eight-year deal. So if $4.69 million is half of $9.38 million, then it was under that number.
Given the market for defenseman Brandt Clarke ($7.4 million AAV), Simon Nemec ($7.2 million AAV), Pavel Mintyukov, and Tristan Luneau, each at $7.2 million AAV, it’s safe to say neither Edvinsson nor his camp were impressed by that number.
