Stevie Y stepping down as Team Canada GM

[fallsviewafro*]

As per ESPN LeBrun:

Pierre LeBrun ‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun 1m
Yzerman was serious. He's stepping down as Canada's Olympic executive director. Says it's time to let someone else get a shot at it.

Going out on top. Two gold medals; well done Stevie Y.

Way to go out a winner Stevie.

So great for St. Louis too.

 

[Hyperglide]

Good for him. Goes out on top and gives someone else a chance for the glory.

Precedent set? 2 Olympics and then new GM? Gretz and Y both 2 Olympics.

 

[BankStreetParade]

Well if NHLers can't go the effort to find adequate players to represent the country is going to have to be Herculean.

 

[Diatomic]

A good man, he's super young too he could of been the GM for a few more years

 

[ODAAT]

Chiarelli should be the next in line

 

[His Beardliness*]

Congrats to the man with the easiest job in the world.

2 term presidential limit? heh. I guess it makes sense though, two experiences are generally pretty good. So who's next??

Babs? Hitch? Chiarelli? Bowman? Holland?

...After Gretz and Yzerman...

maybe Lemiuex? Could seen Sakic actually.

Gretzky stepped down after Canada stumbled in 2006. I don't think this is about setting a 2 Olympic precedent.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Kevin Lowe, the stage is yours.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Chiarelli should be the next in line

Nah... Sakic.

Chia has his say im sure but this role will be filled by Sakic maybe messier

 

[The Bored Man]

During their search for a replacement, Hockey Canada should keep in mind that Kevin Lowe knows a thing or two about winning.

Ya so easy leaving Marty off original roster and very little pressure on him too.

and is never too shy to remind anyone who has forgotten

 

[stakesishigh]

Not quite sure why he would do that. We could further use his knowledge.

big responsibility, more time to just focus on the Bolts I am assuming and realistically, could you stand working with Kevin Lowe for a 3rd time??

 

[Riddum]

Don Cherry please.

 

[redgrant]

That bum lowe lingers like he does in everything else for way too long.

 

[Scrub*]

Messier next.

 

[Inkling]

Kevin Lowe, the stage is yours.

run away...run away....

Messier next.

LOL Even worse than Lowe.

 

[Boom King]

Great job by Stevie. Armstrong or Chirelli best contenders as successors.

 

[ODAAT]

Messier next.

Messier??? You know he is currently a "consultant" with the Oilers?? No thanks

As someone else posted, Armstrong or Chia

Messier would announce his roster with tears streaming down his face
