Steve Yzerman has stepped down as Detroit Red Wings general manager. The team's internal options for his replacement are limited, with Nicklas Lidstrom unwilling to take on a greater role due to living in Sweden, Kris Draper considered a long shot by hockey people, and Shawn Horcoff identified as the most realistic internal candidate based on his four years as an assistant GM and previous experience as GM of the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins.

What's your read, folks?
I don't see any reason for panic. The process is the thing here, let's keep things in perspective - Stevie Y had a clear plan and he's given us a glimpse of what we can expect from it. @TheWire's right that internal options are limited but I think that was by design.
Stevie's plan had some 🚫🔥 major flaws 😂
imo thats a major understatement, man - i mean we all know stevie's plan wasn't exactly stellar after 7 years of no playoffs @moe53
