Yzerman’s seat getting hotter?

I expect it to be red-hot at this point. Man should have stayed here in Tampa.

Didn't he leave mostly for family reasons? Can't really blame him for that.

That was his reason for stepping down, but I think his move to Detroit is open for speculation. I didn’t watch the presser announcing him as their GM

Would y’all take Yzerman back as AGM? Lol

Only if he brings 5 hidden gems with him

I would accept 1 Seider

Probably. Also might be like when he fired Boucher. I haven't followed closely enough to know if the team quit on Lelonde.

DRW barely fire guys mid-season (years of success had something to do with it).

It's weird that when we're focusing so much on the analytical side of the game, the coaches who make all of that work don't seem to get the same look.

Detroit is like Buffalo. Sure, they could hire Gerard Gallant (who played for the Wings), and he might be able to do something with them in a year or two, but what happens when his methods have worn out their welcome? What real coaching development pipeline has been set up?

They could just never get a real centerpiece there. I think the mistake was betting Dylan Larkin could be that guy, rather than moving him for the tank.

That was more the reasons he stepped down here and took a backseat role to JBB. Him taking the job in Detroit is up for speculation and assumptions honestly.

Detroit missing on Lafreniere really hurt them. You also need to be conscious of *WHERE* you are at in your rebuilding. Ask yourself if you'd rather be the Sharks with Celebrini, Smith, Eklund and smart enough to trade for Askarov needing only a defender to finish the collection.

Or do you wanna be the Wings starting with Seider, Raymond (not a bad start) and just saying "f*** it the build is over" and completely missing your chance on Bedard when you know damn well SFY is getting over 5 years to do this and you have Kasper and Edvinsson.

These guys were content to pick as high as 8, 9 and 15 WAAAAAYYYYYY too prematurely in the process

I posted this on the wings thread of their thread for the HC firing and caught a warning. for trolling lmao wut.

"I come in peace. I just wish to ask you a question.

When does Yzerman's seat heat get turned up?"

The Sharks haven't done anything. They look promising, but that's all.

But what's the process of coming out of a rebuild? It's apparently not (or not just) to amass talent. Detroit getting some later picks right would have helped them out there, too.

There seemed to be a theory that a team could develop, and they'd gradually turn the expectations up. That doesn't seem to work.

His wife was still living in Detroit.
