Kronwall (knee) is drawing closer to making his season debut, MLive.com reports. "We're having conversations about when he might return to playing," GM Ken Holland said. "If all goes well, hopefully in the next week or so."

EDGE Analysis

Kronwall's return to the lineup would be huge, as the Red Wings have had to rotate rookies Xavier Ouellet and Ryan Sproul on the blue line. Those two guys hold promise offensively, but Kronwall is a fearless veteran who rattles bones with his hits and he's adept at setting up scores. If your fantasy league runs deep, it might be worth checking to see if Kronwall is available on the waiver wire.
