Detroit Red Wings Rumors and Notes: Last Year For Kronwall? Some Change Coming To The Blue Line?

Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com: The 37-year old Niklas Kronwall knows this season could be his last in the NHL. His seven-year deal is up after this season and there hasn’t been any talks about a contract extension, and he has a hard time seeing himself wearing a different jersey.

“If this happens to be the end of the road, I would be more than happy with the journey that I’ve had and more than thankful to the Ilitch family and (general manager) Kenny Holland for giving me the opportunity that I have for being able to be with the same team for my entire career,” Kronwall, a veteran of 14 NHL seasons, said this week during the NHL European Player Media Tour.
