Grand Rapids — There will be changes on defense for the Red Wings in the near future.
Age, contract issues, retirement and just the natural movement of personnel from the minor leagues and into the NHL, it will amount to new faces in the Wings’ lineup.
There are likely to be too many variables in play. Change is inevitable.
With that in mind, and knowing young defensemen such as Dennis Cholowski and Filip Hronek already have earned spots in the Wings’ lineup this season, patience is key.
