Yzerman as new Senators GM?

This will never happen. Stevie has to much love for Detroit, the system, and the Ilitch's. The Wings organization has been his family ever since he was drafted in 1983 by the Ilitch's.

This is neither "truth" or "Rumor". Lets call this section "Chit we made up".

Dont do it Steve. Stay where your at.

Even though Stevie Y has been with the Wings forever, in reality he's never seen if the grass is in fact greener on the other side of the fence. I used to live in Ottawa and people have talked about Yzerman coming back to Ottawa since they got their expansion team.

It's hard to imagine Stevie Y as anything but a Wing. He's a legend, he revived the Dead Things.

I remember they were very close to dealing him to the Sens, thinking he was done and they had Fedorov to replace him (mid 90's, before the cup runs).

The one thing he has going for him is a great learning environment. Would he suceed if he went off on his own without the Det. support staff?

It all depends on how long Holland wants to keep his post. Yzerman, like any of us, would have to think about his career first and foremost... and if this post was offered, in his former hometown, in a hockey-mad market, who could blame him for accepting?

Perfect.

You never know. Look how far 'The Great One' has gone (fallen?)

I am a die hard Wings fan and I don't have a huge problem with this. Like someone said, a lot will depend on what Ken Holland wants to do. From what he's been doing since he retired, it'd be hard to imagine that Stevie will be content to be the GM behind Holland for much longer. If he is offered the job with the Sens and he takes it, I wish him nothing but success.

It wouldn't surprise me all that much, but it would be hard to imagine Stevie Y anywhere but Detroit.

Hilarious and well put!! Yzerman is a smart man and wont go reconstruct a team from the bottom up. Instead, he will take a team at the top and continue to keep them their *Clears throat... Red Wings*

It's all been said already.

I just can't figure why he'd want to go there if he was inclined.

Exactly, business is business.

Its just a natural progression. Yzerman himself has stated that he wants to be a GM. The main guy. You know Holland is'nt going anywhere. What other choices does he have? He has to leave to be the main guy somewhere. Ottawa seems like a good choice. Their GM over there doesnt know how to fix his team. Or he's choosing all the wrong options. One of them. Their coach also comes off as a know-nothing dooche. I think their whole regime has to go.

Well said BGM...I mean Lucic007

I'd say that sums it up! Why would he leave Detroit? Why? I'll tell you! It's the same reason Lindstrom left! Wait............Lindstrom Never left Detroit and neither will Stevie Y and that's because Detroit is one of the last N.H.L Teams that has the word FAMILY attached to it and Stevie has too much class to run out on his family!

While I don't see Stevie Y leaving (or don't want to see it), I would say the Illitch family would endorse any decision for Mr Yzerman would make be it move to another team or stay in Detroit.
