Longtime Wings defender(and Leafs center) and HOF member Red Kelly will finally get his #4 raised to the rafters. He was a top defenseman in the league for a long time winning 1 Norris, 3 Lady Byngs and finishing top-3 in Hart voting 3 times, an impressive feat on a Wings team with Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay and Terry Sawchuk. He won a total of 8 Cups, 4 each with the Wings and Leafs.
This is a good move to see from Chris Illitch at the helm. A lot of Wings fans thought this should have been done a long time ago and have wondered why it hasn't.
