## Resource

Simon Edvinsson, a key defenseman for the Detroit Red Wings, is set to renegotiate his contract this offseason. With a projected salary range of $8.17M to $9.26M per year, Edvinssons new deal could significantly impact the teams salary cap. Despite his solid performance, Edvinssons agent and the team face a challenge in determining a fair salary, as hes not a high-scoring player. My projection suggests an 8-year contract worth $8.5M per year, similar to teammate Moritz Seiders deal. Other restricted free agents like Carter Mazur and Sebastian Cossa are expected to sign more straightforward contracts. If Edvinssons deal goes through, the Red Wings will have around $84M committed, leaving approximately $20M in cap space for other needs.
