  "account": "The Detroit Red Wings have faced more turmoil as their star defenseman Simon Edvinsson has requested a trade from the team. This follows in the footsteps of Dylan Larkin, another Red Wings star who also sought a trade last offseason but has since remained with the Original Six club.\n\nOn Saturday Headlines, Elliotte Friedman reported that Edvinsson is eager to be traded by the Red Wings. Despite his plea, Friedman indicated that the team has made it clear to other clubs that their top priority remains signing the defenseman. Though the Red Wings have communicated this intention to potential suitors, Edvinsson's frustration has led him to openly express a desire to be traded.\n\nAt just 23 years old, Edvinsson is still considered one of the Detroit Red Wings' top defensemen, possessing significant potential to grow even further. This development is undoubtedly a setback for the team, as they have explicitly told other franchises that their goal is to re-sign Edvinsson. Nonetheless, the prospect of acquiring such a talent should attract considerable interest from other NHL teams in search of defensive reinforcements.\n\nDuring the 2021-2022 season, Edvinsson played 72 games for Detroit, contributing nine goals and 25 points, while also dish out 75 penalty minutes and maintain a plus-12 rating.",
