Detroit — Steve Yzerman an automatic choice to return to the Red Wings?

Well, hold on for a bit.

The New York Post reported Friday Yzerman would be “amenable” to talking with the New York Rangers about their upcoming vacancy for the team president position.

Hall of Famer Glen Sather, the current Rangers’ president, is retiring.

Sather would like to have his successor in place by the start of free agency on July 1.

Yzerman left his role in Tampa Bay as general manager before this season began, and became a consultant for the Lightning.
