Swedish media SportExpressen reported earlier this week that Detroit Red Wings defender Simon Edvinson’s shoulder surgery was completed without complications earlier this week.
“Surgery in Vail, Colorado went well and Simon is back in Detroit to start rehab,” Edvinson’s agent Peter Warner told SportExpressen columnist Gunnar Nordstrom at CAA Sports in Stockholm. rice field.
Red Wings said the recovery process will take about four to six months. That’s about 124 to 186 days. NHL training camp in Traverse City is likely where he will start around September 20-21. 138 days from today.

Best case scenario, he’ll be medically cleared near training camp or before the start of the season.
According to Nordstrom, surgery was recommended because Red Wings doctors found signs that Edvinsson could have problems down the road.
“The surgery was done for preventive purposes,” Werner told Nordstrom. “Simon hasn’t had any trouble with his shoulder this season.
Appeared in 9 games for Detroit
Edvinson played impressively in a nine-game tryout for the Red Wings late in the season. He scored his first two NHL goals.
“I think he’s a dynamic player,” said Detroit captain Dylan Larkin. “It’s rare to see a 6-foot-6 player move like that and have that kind of vision and skating ability. He’s a very exciting prospect. He leaves an impression and a good impression.” I really knew I was there for you.”
The Red Wings expect Edvinson to play in Detroit next season, but it’s still unclear if it will be the season opener. Another Swedish prospect, Albert Johansson, has also played well for the Grand Rapids Griffins this season and could be Detroit’s defenseman this season.
