Detroit — They are two of the last real links to the past, when locker clean-out days happened much later in the spring and the summers were shorter.
Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall were here for the glory days, and now are part of the rebuilding.
And, the two veterans aren’t planning on leaving.
The end is closer — Kronwall’s contract expires after next season and Zetterberg in 2021 though few believe he’ll play until then — but both confirmed at Tuesday’s locker clean-out day they are returning next season.
