Round 1: Niklas Kronwall
Not much to write about today...I mean virtually nothing is happening in the Red Wing world to report on right now. So I thought I'd start a seven part series looking back and who is on the current Wings roster (or farm affiliate) that was drafted by the Wings. We'll start with Round #1 and work our way down.
Niklas Kronwall (D): Selected in 1st round 29th overall in 2000.
Born Jan. 12, 1981. 6'0, 189 lbs.
And the answer is "No", I'll never get sick of posting this pic.

Nik Jr. is quickly becoming one of the games hardest hitters. Injury plagued for a good portion of his early years, I patiently waited to see what this guy could do when he was healthy come play-off time. Remember the 2007-2008?
Nobody had more cataclysmic, bone-crunchers than #55. He was laying out guys left and right from round one against Nashville, all the way through the Stanley Cup Finals. He and Brad Stuart seem to be a match made in Hockeytown heaven once the post-season rolls around. He didn’t quite replicate the quantity of big hits in 2008-2009, but he did introduce Marty Havlat’s brain to the inside of his skull.
And the answer is "No", I'll never get sick of posting this pic.
