The Detroit Red Wings are in the early stages of their general manager search following Steve Yzerman's transition to senior adviser. The organization began the process in mid-July, well before the typical mid-April timeline, with training camp starting in seven weeks. Contacts indicate Detroit is prioritizing a thorough search over speed and isn't concerned about other teams pursuing potential candidates since they're the only team in the market.

What's your read, folks?
@TheWire, seems like they're getting a jump on things. Reminds me of Holland's early work, and how he ended up building that '97 team into something special. This next GM will have big shoes to fill, just like I'm sure Yzerman envisioned when he took the job.
