Wings get down to 23-man roster limit, but Edvinsson remains unsigned
The Wings got down to a 23-man roster at Monday's 5 p.m. deadline, but there are still many variables involved.
The Detroit Red Wings have reached their 23-man roster limit, but the identity of the opening night squad remains uncertain. On Monday's 5 p.m. deadline, the team trimmed down to 23 players, though several players' statuses remain unclear. Young defensemen Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Anton Johansson, and William Wallinder will continue to be part of the lineup.
Meanwhile, defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker was placed on injured reserve, and Andreas Englund was designated as immigration non-roster. The most crucial defensive player, Simon Edvinsson, is yet to be signed and did not practice on Monday at the BELFOR Training Center. Interim General Manager Shawn Horcoff confirmed that Edvinsson has not been involved in training or preseason games since camp began.
The organization is still negotiating with Edvinsson and his representatives. Despite the roster changes, Dylan Larkin remains on the team but faced uncertainties about his availability for the season opener against the New York Rangers due to his ongoing recovery. Meanwhile, forwards Michael Brandsegg-Nygard, Nate Danielson, and Carter Mazur continue to be part of the squad.
Additionally, goaltender Carter Gylander was reassigned to the Grand Rapids team, while forwards Carter Bear and Chase Stillman were designated as injured non-roster players to accommodate the roster limit.
