Steve Yzerman abruptly steps down as GM of Detroit Red Wings
Steve Yzerman stepped down as general manager of the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday after seven seasons, transitioning to a senior advisory role to owner and CEO Chris Ilitch. The Red Wings have not appeared in the playoffs during Yzerman's tenure, contributing to the franchise's decade-long playoff drought, which is the longest active drought in the NHL. The team has begun searching for a new head of hockey operations while Yzerman will handle day-to-day responsibilities until a successor is named.
