08:20 AM ET 10.08 | Steve Yzerman admitted recently that he'd entertained coaching as a post-playing career before settling on front office work, which now finds him at the top of the Lightning organization -- even if he'll forever be tied to the Red Wings. [So] how do you separate that now because you are no longer associated with the Wings? "It doesn't come into play doing my job. I was in the [Detroit] organization for a long time, and I will always be associated -- or at least I hope I'll always be associated with -- the organization even though I don't work for them at this time. I learned so much being a player and a part of that group, and a lot of it molded me and my ideas in the game as well."

Always be a Wing, he can take over from Holland any time the teams thinks they need a change, Stevie wouldn't be a bad coach either, knows the game inside and out...

Yup...the reason young players wear number 19 or 91 can be attributed to both Stevie Y and Joe Sakic.

Now that made me smile...I was thinking more along the lines of Stamkos, Toews, Tavares, Seguin and Spezza.

Well, Steve, it would help to stay connected if you send us your first round picks once in a while, like Burke does for the Bruins. :-)
