Since the news broke this morning that Detroit Red Wings’ legend Steve Yzerman would return to the motor city, the New York Rangers’ search for a team president is down to one candidate. Since New York has not reached out to any other candidates, Larry Brooks of the New York Post hypothesized that the team is waiting for John Davidson’s team to be eliminated.
There probably was no realistic scenario in which the Rangers were ever going to get Yzerman. The former Tampa Bay Lightning G.M. declined an interview with New York for the position according to Brooks and Gord Miller of TSN.
