Max Bultman of The Athletic picks the all-decade team for the Detroit Red Wings.
One of the bench players is...
Jonathan Ericsson, D
Maybe an unexpected one considering the events of this season, when Ericsson was waived and sent to the AHL, but think about the overall résumé here. No, he’s never been a scorer. Yes, he’s faded in his late years. But this is an All-Decade team, and Ericsson, who was once the last pick in the draft, played for the Red Wings all decade. And most of the time, it was in a prominent role.
