East Lansing — A new hockey season, a reboot to a hockey career.
That's what Red Wings defenseman Jakub Kindl believes this season could be for him.
Kindl never earned the trust of former coach Mike Babcock, and last season felt like a bottoming out, as he played in 35 games and just one during the playoffs.
Always a subject of trade rumors, Kindl now finds himself back in Detroit.
"It's a fresh start, not just for me but for everybody," Kindl said after an informal workout Tuesday at Michigan State's Munn Arena.
