Nicklas Lidstrom Resigns With Detroit


It appears as if Nicklas Lidstrom will not follow in the foot steps of fellow veteran, Marc Recchi.

Instead, the six time Norris Trophy Winner will return for the 2011-2012 season, in search for his fifth Stanley Cup Championship.

The Detroit Red Wing's captain has struck a deal with the Wings for one year, worth a reported 6.2 million dollars.

This move made by Ken Holland is huge, considering the Wings lost offensive defenseman, Brian Ralfaski to retirement.

Though Holland is expected to make a big splash in free-agency, to acquire another stud defenseman to replace Rafalski.

Finishing with 62 points last season, it's obvious the future hall of famer still has plenty to offer for a Detroit franchise looking to hoist it's second Stanley Cup in the National Hockey League post-lockout era.
