from Chris McCosky of the Detroit News,
“I know I am a lot closer to the end than I am the beginning,” he said after a conditioning skate Thursday. “But this isn’t something I am going to address this year. I love playing. I love coming to the rink. Listen, if my career would have ended two or three years ago I wouldn’t have had any regrets.
“But I am going to just see how things hold up from a physical standpoint; see how I feel injury-wise. There’s always going to be a time (to leave); everyone has to move on. Whether it’s after this year for me, we’ll see.”
To measure Maltby’s on-ice effectiveness by his statistics is to completely miss the point of his value. He’s a grinder, a dependable defensive-minded winger who’s has long been on of the game’s effective pests

I think both Malts and Homer are going to get plenty of rest during the regular season. If that means they’ll be in good (“great” is too much to hope for) shape for the playoffs next spring, it’ll be a huge plus for the Wings. And despite Tick Tock’s high praise, I don’t think anyone seriously thinks Kirk will be back next year.
Cue the Pens trolls to jump in with: “WE WON CUP. WE WON CUP. WE WON CUP.” It’s sad that they never did learn how to enjoy that win this summer.
And that, folks, is why Hank will be the next Wings captain. Other teams (*cough*Pittsburgh*cough*) should be so lucky.
