More and more signs are pointing to Daniel Alfredsson retiring rather than returning to the Detroit Red Wings.
Afredsson, less than two months shy of his 42nd birthday, is no longer skating at Joe Louis Arena, and last week told general manager Ken Holland that there wasn't a chance that that would change.
"He was feeling pretty good but was getting frustrated because he wasn't getting over the hump," Holland told the Free Press today. "He would feel good, push it and have a setback. He was frustrated because he was not able to get to the point where he wants to be at to tell me he wants to practice with us."
Holland told Alfredsson to take more time, that the Wings are "prepared to wait a little longer." It's dubious that anything will change, however.
