Yzerman Steps Down as Red Wings GM | Detroit Red Wings News
Description
Steve Yzerman is stepping down as GM of the Detroit Red Wings after a decade-long playoff drought—the longest in NHL history—and transitioning to a senior advisor role, while owner Chris Ilitch leads the search for his replacement. Potential candidates include current assistant GMs Kris Draper and Shawn Horcoff, and even legend Nicklas Lidstrom, though he may prefer to stay in Sweden. This leadership shake-up follows Dylan Larkin’s reported trade request, raising questions about his future. Yzerman, who famously endured seven straight playoff-less seasons yet stayed on, will remain involved to guide the search. The Red Wings are clearly aiming for a major turnaround.
