Kronwall has gotten off to a great start with eight points in nine games. With Nicklas Lidstrom retired, Kronwall ranks third in the NHL with an average of 5:46 minutes of power-play ice time per contest. As a result, five of his points have been recorded with the man advantage. He's probably not going to end up as the top offensive defenseman this season, but he's a decent bet to finish in the top 10.
