The leader of the Detroit Red Wings, Niklas Kronwall will have a decision to make regarding his NHL future. He’s been a warrior on the ice and a pro’s pro off the ice for many years. With former captain Henrik Zetterberg suddenly retiring before the start of last season Kronwall quietly slid over from riding shotgun into the pilots’ seat leading the Wings all season long.
As the season was set to take off in September, it was all but certain this would be Niklas Kronwall’s final NHL season. The veteran defender has played exceptionally well for the Wings this season along with mentoring the young up and coming defensemen.
