Arguably, when you factor in longevity, the best defenseman to ever lace 'em up!

But actually, a happy day all in all. The sad will come next training camp and regular season when we fail to truly "replace" him.

I believe Holmstrom, who is expected to retire next week :( is the last of the players who played with Stevie Y. After next week the Stevie era can officially come to an end. I wonder if Lidstrom or Holmstrom have ever played 2nd base. The Tigers could sure use them.

Yzerman quit in 2006...a number of current players were on that team.

I think Homer wants a bigger role than 4th line/PP guy, but I don't think the wings see himas more than that. He could retire also...or move on...
