Value of: Niklas Kronwall

[MMC]

Only has a year left, I think he could be an upgrade on many teams' bottom pairings.

He could get a 2nd at the deadline if he shows he has anything left in the tank up until that point.

 

[The CyNick]

Mid round pick. Maybe.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

He has a cup win and he’s been a life long Red Wing. I bet that is more important to him than chasing another shot at the cup. Think he is a mentor this year as a Red Wing.

 

[drw02]

He's done, knees are shot/can't skate anymore. Wouldn't shock me if he spent much, if not all, of next season on IR and retires soon after the season.

 

[Big Ed]

Not sure if any team still needs to hit the floor but his actual salary owed is 3mil lower than his cap hit, so there could be a fit there. Think he retires a Wing tho.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

The guy's knees are shot, He's not worth more then a 4th rounder. And that's with retention.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Kronwall at 50% and a year's subscription to Life Alert for a conditional 7th.

 

[Hockeyholic]

He's a borderline hofer ( An explanation meant for a different day) who needs to retire imo. Legs are cooked.

They are more team awards than individual. Nothing against him, but after 2006, he didn't get anything individual. Far from HOF IMO

So should Tomas Holmstrom's 4 Stanley Cups and Gold Medal get him in, too?

Almost all individual awards. Kronwall in his prime was a fantastic defenseman and hugely underrated during our deep playoff runs, but if he’s getting into the HOF, the bar would be way too low. You would then have to start inducting guys like Seabrook, Bouwmeester, Zidlicky, Schneider, etc. that were clearly top pairing guys for a while, but shouldn’t be in the Hall.

loved him , but he is done

Kronwall in his prime with working knees was absolutely fantastic.

Still shouldn't even sniff the HOF.

Well, I'm sure if he paid for a ticket to The Hall, he could sniff the walls, if that tickled his fancy!

Zubov was better and he's not in and likely never will be.

Weak Norris record as well, 10-13-14. That's it.
