Figured he'd never leave Tampa. Play out his contract with TBL, hop on board as an assistant here next season and when Holland goes to Seattle he takes over. Or at least that's the hope.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME IS GOING ON HERE.
Stevie see's the young talent coming.... Larkin, Mantha, Bert, Zadina, Cholo, Hronek, Mciisac, Berggren. Top pick this year. Not a bad opportunity to come to next season with a potential boatload of cap space.
Yeah, the timing seems off. Why make this decision a week before training camp starts? Seems like there is more to this story than has been made public yet. Stepping down for family/health issues maybe.....

It will fun times to praise Ken Holland's rebuild-moves of Yzerman's later success.

This is going to be a shadow hanging over Holland all season. It will be interesting if he has any comments.
I think newfy's explanation is very reasonableThere has to be some sort of family/health thing or something else not hockey related going on. There is no way a gm would step down from a team that is a favorite to win the cup a month before the season starts
But regardless, the chances of yzerman becoming the next wings gm just went up substantially imo
