Your New Executive Vice President And General Manager

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

Yzerman, who served two decades as the Red Wings captain while leading them to three Stanley Cups, was named an executive vice president and general manager.

Ken Holland, who has been the general manager since 1997, has signed a multi-year extension and promoted to senior vice president.

“It’s an extremely exciting day in the history of our franchise,” owner Chris Ilitch said.....

Speculation immediately turned — as it has all season — to how long it would take for Yzerman to return to Detroit.
