Kronwall Delt
We have been speculating for over a month now, but today at 2pm est, word came from the Detroit free press that Kronwall was indeed delt. It wasn't until an hour later that Kenny Holland in his daily meetings with the press confirmed the story.
The Colorado Avalanche has landed the cup winning swedish player. The trade breaks down like this: going to Colorado Niklas Kronwall, 1st rd Pick 2010 draft. Going to Detroit is Defenseman Tom Priessing and highly touted prospect Kyle Cummisky, and a 2nd Rd Pick in the upcoming 2010 draft.
I think this will help the young Av's get a proven winner in there dressing room and the redwings get a top six defenseman and a blue chip prospect.
GM Drover could not be reached for comment on the trade, but that was not the only trade he made today as Tom Fritsche was sent to Atlanta for Nick Bergfors, Bergfors will be reporting to Lake Erie for thier next game.
