Rich - saw your comment below on “keeping Yzerman”. I really don’t think that was an option. This hiring confirms to me that Yzerman quit. Not the other way around**

- All reporting and the nature of the announcment says Steve was let go* - By Big M September 15, 2026 at 11:37:36 AM
  - Agreed. There was nothing that came out today (including the Wojo article in the News) that suggests it was Yzerman’s decision* - By AltShiftM September 15, 2026 at 12:28:57 PM
  - Wings have one of the best arena’s in the league. Always sold out. Great fanbase. Great salary cap position. Deep pipe/farm system. No one will take what is obviously a top 5 job in the league. After months of looking, we go internal - By xcheck September 15, 2026 at 12:15:24 PM
- He should’ve been fired in April nm - By mgaelster September 15, 2026 at 11:36:57 AM
  - Yzerman didn't hit it out of the park but I think he did a better job than ppl realize... - By Rich September 15, 2026 at 11:44:21 AM
    - You like Pythagorean in MLB but not NHL? The 25-26 Wings had a -15 goal differential and were the 3rd worst team in the league 5v5 - By mgaelster September 15, 2026 at 11:53:29 AM
      - Are people lauding the Tigers? I think Pythag is fair. The question is, is it luck or is there a reason.... - By Rich September 15, 2026 at 12:09:01 PM
    - His first round drafting was great. Pro scouting and later round drafting was horrible* - By Big M September 15, 2026 at 11:45:07 AM
      - Pro-Scouting = Maltby & Stevie Y's brother. Been sucking in those positions since Holland * - By Spirit September 15, 2026 at 01:00:17 PM
      - I'd agree with that. And I think his trades were generally good (Wallin aside) but he didn't do enough of them. His signings were mixed. - By Rich September 15, 2026 at 11:49:07 AM
- Also - Stevie’s last pick first round pick - Carter Bear - is going to be a homerun. Holy cow is this kid a literal Bear. He is so tough around the net** - By xcheck September 15, 2026 at 11:36:45 AM
  - Danielson is a big question mark but I still like the other first round picks. Kasper is going to have a rebound year and MBN/Bear are going to be pests who score a lot* - By Big M September 15, 2026 at 11:38:26 AM
- Agree completely... and Steve has too much class to throw fucktard Chris under the bus * - By Spirit September 15, 2026 at 11:35:01 AM
  - 100%** - By xcheck September 15, 2026 at 11:37:12 AM
