Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman.

How does that sentence grab you? It kind of just feels right, doesn’t it? I’ll tell you. It felt good to type. Damn good.

That likely won’t happen for at least another year, after Yzerman recently announced he’s stepping down as GM of the Tampa Bay Lighting and will serve in an advisory role this season.
