The Steve Yzerman era is over for the Red Wings. Now what?
Steve Yzerman transitioned from his role as executive vice president and general manager of the Detroit Red Wings to senior adviser to governor and CEO Chris Ilitch on Wednesday, marking the functional end of his tenure that began in 2019. The Red Wings will conduct a search for a new head of hockey operations while Yzerman remains in his current role during the process. The announcement comes three months after the season ended in a late-season collapse, with the team having missed the playoffs in all seven seasons under Yzerman and facing a decade-long postseason drought, while captain Dylan Larkin has requested a trade.
