Detroit GM Ken Holland will meet with veteran defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom in the next few weeks. Lidstrom is contemplating retirement as well he should be at the age of 42, but he could return for another season as his skill level is still top ten in the NHL among defensemen and possibly higher than that. He should decide by mid-June. If he decides to retire, his next stop will be the Hall of Fame.
