just an opinion piece, but hes 40, and hes not the same player he was a few seasons ago. im guessing he retires. either way, if he does retire, kudos to him for a GREAT career. hes set the benchmark for overseas defensemen.

Basically, and if he comes back next year I wonder what he would command or ask?

Maybe he would take league min and incentives to help with bringing back Hudler, and to resign a few other guys.

Hell of a career for him, 4 cup rings and 3 time Norris winner.

Well Lidstrom is off the books for 7 Million though, he's a huge reason for there to be 13 million left over.

We'll see how it plays out though.

I never strongly liked or dislike him. Good for him to have such a great career. Really won't miss him.

I'm sure he can still play, but what is there else to accomplish?

Osgood is a great backup then.
