Detroit Red Wings: The ‘YzerPlan’ appears to be stuck in neutral

Related Topics: Detroit Red Wings, Steve Yzerman

The ‘YzerPlan’ is a familiar phrase surrounding the Detroit Red Wings since general manager Steve Yzerman re-joined the organization. The phase is simple and self-explanatory, but is the common expression growing tiresome as fans seemingly become impatient and unforgiving?

Anyone who follows the Detroit Red Wings with an open mind understands that when Yzerman took over the club in April of 2019, the legendary captain, now general manager, didn’t have much to work with. In an attempt to remain competitive and rebuild on the fly, former GM Ken Holland often mortgaged the future by trading prospects for veteran players with terrible contracts leaving the cupboards bare.
