Many Detroit Red Wings' fans have a message for veteran forward Tomas Holmstrom.

Thanks for the memories, Tomas, but it's time to call it a career.

Holmstrom has yet to announce whether he wants to retire after 15 years with the Red Wings or return for at least one more season, leaving the team in limbo regarding his future.

General manager Ken Holland said he told Holmstrom to take June and July to make a decision, which is expected to come by the end of the month.

But as much as many Red Wings' fans appreciate Holmstrom and the contributions he made in helping Detroit win four Stanley Cup, the majority also think it's time for him to hang up his skates and allow some new blood to take his spot on the roster.

Holmstrom's production fell off sharply last season, when his 11 goals were the fewest he scored since getting eight in 2001-02 and his 24 points were the fewest he registered since recording 22 in 1997-98, his second NHL season.

His playing time also dwindled as he was relegated to playing on the fourth line and power play late in the season after going 28 games without a goal at one point.

Reader CitizenXGen thinks its possible Holmstrom might want to return for at least one more season.

That could put the Red Wings in a tough spot if they're hoping to move forward without him and don't want him back next season.

If Holmstrom doesn't announce his retirement, reader Sid thinks the Red Wings need to make that decision for him and admit they're in a rebuilding mode.

Reader Mayhewgmoftheyear compares the Red Wings' situation with Holmstrom to what the Pistons are going through with Ben Wallace.

Wallace, the Pistons' elder statesman and captain of their 2004 championship team, hinted last season that he was going to retire but has yet to announce anything.

Unlike the NHL, the NBA isn't facing a potential lockout and the Pistons need to start preparing for training camp, which opens in less than two months.

With all that said, not everyone thinks Holmstrom needs to go.

At least one reader thinks he can still play a role for the Red Wings.
