Detroit Red Wings: Niklas Kronwall doesn’t need a “C” to lead

Niklas Kronwall is set to lead the Detroit Red Wings during his final NHL season. With the career-ending back injury to his countryman and friend Henrik Zetterberg, the unfortunate circumstance leaves Kronwall as the guy everyone can count on to answer the tough questions.

Henrik Zetterberg often sat in front of his locker after games and answered questions. Through the good times and the bad Hank would be available. Niklas Kronwall will be that guy for the Detroit Red Wings this season.

Ken Holland recently mentioned he and the staff need to discuss if they will go with three ‘A’s or name a captain.
