I’m not really for or against Yzerman as pres, but is being the President a position where he really needs to be physically around most of the time?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Probably not a front-runner with JD and Yzerman, but he could be an interesting option.
If Yzerman's heart is truly in Detroit, this is not worth it at all.
The more I think about it, I actually am starting to believe that when all is said and done, it will be Gorton. A few more years of wearing both hats, and then give GM title to Drury.

At first, I was going to ask "Why would a football coach possibly be qualified to a president of a hockey organization".
And then I learned he was the Swiss national ice hockey coach? What an interesting man, I'm so confused.

He also coached with the Oilers for a few years but was only at the helm for one season before he was fired. He basically took the fall for inept management.

Kruger also coached Team Europe in the World Cup. I think there was reports of teams asking him if he’d like to come back to hockey, but he wanted to honor his commitment to his football club
Dolan really needs to get more involved with running this team, his leadership skills and deep sports knowledge is really needed....

With getting the 2nd pick and the potential of our recent drafted players me thinks Gorts is in the driving seat. We have no need for a proven hands on President to muck up what Gorts has accomplished. Though I am not a big fan of Messier as Pres it is a distinct possibility.

Yeah, he's done a terrible job rebuilding this team. You have really opened my eyes.

I'm still trying to figure out what "Israelian" means.
A GM who thinks the best way to develop Brady Skjei is to buy out Girardi and let Skjei play with Smith or Shattenkirk, should never bee near a hockey team. Or any team in sports for that matter.

Israel sent a ship to the moon and its rockets malfunction and it crashed a few days ago, I think that’s what he’s referencing
Save the attitude man.What has Gorton done? Traded the vets? Not exactly rocket science. Won the lottery. Gorton and his mismanagement of the team is the reason for the rebuild. The guy who caused the mess should never been asked to fix it. Never.

But he could teach Skjei a thing or two. The other two not so much. Its funny, a couple of weeks ago Niklas Lidstrøm was the expert on a Rangers game on Viasat. He spoke highly of Marc Staal and showed how crafty he was in his defending. Sadly many posters here on HF will never see or understand it.

And yet they get scored on much more often when he’s on the ice
