Captain Henrik Zetterberg has not committed to calling it a “career” yet. Zetterberg as all of you know by now will remain out indefinitely. Z will not be in attendance in a little under two weeks from now when the Detroit Red Wings open training camp.
Henrik Zetterberg will be a substantial “immediate” loss for the Wings, but it won’t be all bad. The injury will force General Manager Ken Holland‘s hand, to play a younger player and finally commit to a rebuild.
This news gives Holland an excuse if Detroit is faltering, he will speak to the media about the void Zetterberg has left behind.
