What does Steve Yzerman’s decision to step down as general manager in Tampa Bay mean to the Detroit Red Wings?
According to a source, Yzerman told Lightning players he was going home to Detroit. Does that mean the metro area home he’s maintained since taking the job in Tampa in 2010, or the Red Wings?
Most immediately, it would seem to indicate the former, as Yzerman has one more year left on his contract with the Lightning and Tampa Athletic reporter Joe Smith reported Yzerman will take on an advisory role with the Lightning.
