Chris Chelios will return for his 24th NHL season after re-signing with the Wings today, according to a Wings press release.

Red Wings General Manager Ken Holland today announced the team has re-signed defenseman Chris Chelios to a one-year contract. In keeping with club policy, additional terms of the deal are not available.

"Chris is coming off another outstanding season and was one of the best defensemen on any team through three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs," said Holland.

"He has taken conditioning to a new level and has set the standard for how today's professional athlete trains year-around in order to compete at an elite level. In addition to his high level of play, Chris's experience and leadership are second-to-none. We're very happy to have him signed to play in Detroit for another season."

unbelieveable!! Good on him for giving it another go.

But is there a point in time where you call it greed or is he doing it for the love of the game?

Wow, it's amazing how he is 45 and still one of the best. If he thinks he has another good season in him then hell, go for it!

I don't think it's greed at all, you couldn't really call me a Chelios fan but I think he is doing because he loves it, he actually isn't making that much comparing him to the younger players. Yet somehow he is still competitive at his age.
