2025 Fantasy Outlook
In his first full season with the Red Wings, Edvinsson took on a first-pairing role and didn't look out of place. The 2021 No. 6 overall pick posted seven goals (three game-winners), 24 helpers, 67 PIM, 86 shots on goal, 86 hits, 144 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 78 games in 2024-25. He’s relatively mobile for a 6-foot-6 defenseman, and at 22 years old, the hulking blueliner will continue to gain playing time at even strength. The Swede was tied for the team lead in primary assists (14) on defense last season with Moritz Seider, so Edvinsson could carve out a role with the No. 2 power-play unit in 2025-26 if he continues to grow offensively. The rearguard should be capable of improving across the board, as he will be a restricted free agent after the 2025-26 campaign. Don’t forget about this well-rounded youngster late in upcoming drafts. Read Past Outlooks

Edvinsson logged two assists, three shots on goal, three hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Kraken.
ANALYSIS
Edvinsson had one of his better all-around games of the season. He supplied helpers on goals by Andrew Copp and James van Riemsdyk during the second period, allowing the Red Wings to stay level at 3-3 heading into the final frame. Edvinsson has three assists over his last five games, and he's up to nine points, 32 shots on net, 34 hits, 54 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 26 appearances. While he has struggled offensively, the 22-year-old is playing a more physical game that could make him an option for deeper banger leagues.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Last season, Edvinsson saw action in 16 games for the Wings in which he notched one goal, one assist and 26 hits while averaging 18:15 of ice time. In total, the Swedish blueliner has played in 25 contests at the NHL level but could be in line for an expanded role heading into the upcoming campaign. In the minors, the 2021 sixth-overall pick garnered 30 points in 54 outings during the previous year, so he could offer some offensive upside. Still, Edvinsson won't be a Norris Trophy nominee during his career and figures to offer mid-range fantasy value at best.
One of the consensus top prospects in the league, Edvinsson spent the vast majority of his first season in North America with AHL Grand Rapids, finishing with five goals and 27 points in 2022-23. He also scored twice in a brief nine-game stint with the Wings. Still just 20 years of age, the former No. 6 overall selection (2021) has a real chance to skate alongside Moritz Seider on Detroit's top defensive pair at some point in the not too distant future. However, there's a real chance Edvinsson will start the upcoming season back in the minors instead of receiving minimal playing time at the NHL level. Fantasy managers should plan on seeing how Edvinsson's usage appears to be shaking out during training camp. If it looks like he'll be handed a substantial role at the NHL level, Edvinsson will have appeal in redraft formats this year.
