Will Steve Yzerman Pay Up? | Episode 398

Simon Edvinsson is a restricted free agent without a contract, and offer sheet talk is heating up around the Detroit Red Wings. Greg and Ryan break down Edvinsson's 2025-26 season, his development alongside Moritz Seider, and whether Detroit would match an offer sheet from a team like the Carolina Hurricanes. Then they dig into Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts on the Red Wings, including why Dylan Larkin's value went up after the Leo Carlsson offer sheet, concerns about Steve Yzerman's approach to paying players, and what it means for a potential Alex DeBrincat extension. The episode closes with the latest on the Dylan Larkin trade saga, including Helene St. James' report that his no-trade list still hasn't expanded beyond Florida, Minnesota, and Vegas. 🔴 SUBSCRIBE for weekly Detroit Red Wings news, rumors, and analysis 🔔 Turn on notifications so you never miss an episode TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:31 Simon Edvinsson's 2025-26 season and development 04:09 Could Edvinsson get an offer sheet from Carolina? 09:06 Elliotte Friedman's 32 Thoughts on the Red Wings 11:41 Why Dylan Larkin's value went up 14:12 Alex DeBrincat extension and Yzerman's spending 18:34 Dylan Larkin trade update: no-trade list still hasn't expanded 24:20 CBA rules on contract renegotiation FOLLOW THE GRIND LINE Twitter/X: @grindlinepod Instagram: @grindlinepod Spotify & Apple Podcasts: The Grind Line Podcast Merch: TeePublic - search "Grind Line Podcast" Grind Line is a Detroit Red Wings podcast covering trade rumors, free agency, prospect development, and everything happening around the team.
