Niklas Kronwall has tried his best to fill a big void left by Nicklas Lidstrom, but the supporting cast simply isn’t there yet.  If Danny DeKeyser comes as advertised he will help bolster the blue line, but he is still a raw rookie learning the pro-style game.  Kyle Quincey and Jonathan Ericsson aren’t going to put fear in anyone.
