I'm not upset that Yzerman is leaving, I'm upset at the way he did it. Maybe it had to do with TB falling out of the EK race and the time was now, but to step down a few days before training camp and act like this is anything other than him prepping to move to the Detroit organization is a slap in the face, IMO. If he worked out his contract and then chose to leave, it'd still sting, but I'd have zero issue. It's his right to be where he wants to be and work for who he wants to work for.
I know Brisebois will do well and I have absolutely zero concern about the team moving forward without Yzerman. I respect what Yzerman has done for Tampa Bay, I respect how he operated in the time he was here and I respect that he didn't totally just take it to us raw by waiting until Brisebois was poached by another team. I'm disappointed by the way this played out, though and the likely reasoning behind this decision.
But I believe that Brisebois is essentially Yzerman. Seems like they're pretty much the same person. And I think a lot of our success could be attributed to our cap navigation which from what I understand is mostly (all?) JB.
Bring on the season.
When Yzerman left Detroit, was Verbeek the only guy he took with him?
I don't think it has anything to do with that. Y is tired, has gotten older and wants to spend some time with his family and not at airports and on planes and in hotel rooms several days a week. He's groomed Breezy for years and now it's his time to take over while still having Y guide him for another year at least.After Karlsson trade Yzerman resignation is starting to make sense.
I think that, sooner or later, Yzerman will return to Red Wings. Because it's right, I don't blame him. Also because, to be honest, I'd do the same thing.
But are you sure that he'll go to Detroit soon?
I've read that Holland has 2 many years on this contract. So the ways are 2: fire Holland or wait till the end of his contract...
Yes, Holland just signed a 2 year extension for the 18/19 season and the 19/20 season.
With the tampering rules and all..... SY will probably stay on this season as an adviser with TB, He'll work with JBB for the year, probably working from his Detroit home. After his contract is up, he will then be open to talk to the Wings, who will probably sign him in some type of capacity, whether its as an assistant GM to Holland, or some new title/position. Maybe he really doesn't want to GM anymore and will simply be an adviser to Holland/Detroit going forward.... Keep in mind that Holland has stated numerous times that he isn't ready to retire any time soon. He still wants to GM, whether its in Detroit or elsewhere. He has also been rumored to be interested in the new Seattle club GM job too. So I think the outcome here is still very much in question. Does SY still want to GM? Is Holland willing to move on? I don't think its a done deal yet. I think there are still multiple outcomes possible and we probably won't know for another year or two minimum.
Don't know why Ottawa should care whether Karlsson is in the same conference or not, Karlsson is going to retire before the Sens are competitive again. Well, it's not like the Sens management has been very familiar with making sense lately.Yes, Holland just signed a 2 year extension for the 18/19 season and the 19/20 season.

Also in my opinion it's not a done deal: there're many possibilities in his future.Yes, Holland just signed a 2 year extension for the 18/19 season and the 19/20 season.

But I think that the Detroit one has the highest %. Maybe becoming ad advisor or a assistant GM for the 2019-20 season and then a full time GM when Holland's contract will expire. It's an idea.
To be honest, I don't believe in the Seattle possibility.
No, don't worry: your post was clear...but I'm quite drunk is these days and so I misunderstood. I've read it 2-3 times now and the post is clearMaybe my post wasn't clear. It was Holland who is reportedly interested in the Seattle GM job, not Yzerman.
Before Holland signed his latest 2 yr extension, the rumor was that he might not be extended and that he might be interested in going and overseeing/GMing the Seattle expansion club. I think its a real possibility that if the Wings ownership wants Yzerman back, that Holland goes after the Seattle job. I don't think Yzerman is interested in that job, although he is a BC boy, so it would be close to his roots.

I think the only GM job Yzerman would consider, given that his wife apparently will not move out of Michigan, is the Detroit job. And I don't get the sense Yzerman is ready for his golden years, so I think he will eventually take it. We shouldn't hold that against him. It's a family decision as much as anything.
Make some sort of joke about how someone could (and probably does) pronounce BriseBois. As in B-rice Boys or something like that.Isn't the reason why his wife will not move out of Michigan because their daughter is going to college there? She should be graduating soon and then they would be free to move/live anywhere. Having spent years apart from my family I 100% support Yzerman's decision.
Worst part about this whole thing is I'll need to change my ForumName. Any suggestions?
