Why Steve Yzerman is out as Red Wings GM: Answering 5 big questions
The Detroit Red Wings removed Steve Yzerman as general manager after the team's 10th consecutive season without a playoff appearance, with Yzerman transitioning to senior advisor to governor Chris Ilitch. Yzerman, who held the GM position for seven seasons, will maintain day-to-day responsibilities until a new head of hockey operations is hired, with Ilitch leading the search committee. The Red Wings stated they are not meeting organizational and fan expectations, and will bring in new leadership to build a championship-caliber organization.
