As the Detroit Red Wings’ search for a new head coach enters its second month, it’s a telling sign of how general manager Steve Yzerman works — and how he has changed.
It is one of Yzerman's biggest decisions since being named general manager in April 2019, up there in importance with his first-round draft picks. It is his third time hiring a head coach, and it already has taken longer than the first two combined.
This is Yzerman’s opportunity to pick someone he believes can push the Wings towards greater competitiveness.
