The Detroit Red Wings will expect Mike Green to play substantial minutes again this season. Niklas Kronwall who has been a warrior throughout his career will be needed for top 4 backend minutes again too. A leader and most say a calming voice in the locker room always making sure things are smooth making newer players feel welcome.
Nick Kronwall has broken down some physically these days, fought through a leg injury all of last year. Kronwall has lost a step but can still be relied upon to make the right play. If it’s making a safe, clean first pass out of his own end, picking his spots to pinch in the offensive zone or when to step up and engage physically.
