The media questions were brutal.
They asked the same question over and over begging for a storyline.

There would have been changes whether Yzerman took the job or not. While it did take Holland (or Ilitch) too long to get on board with a rebuild, not really much to complain about.So what do people think SY will do almost right away personnel wise?
Most times their is a change at the top of command the person in charge comes in with plans or a vision already in their head, whether it be a head of state, business/company etc.
While perhaps not overly drastic I do expect some changes this summer.

Most GM's coming into a new position are doing so after a house cleaning has taken place and are in charge of putting ttheir own team in place. Yzerman is just being added to an already existing team. That's why I don't get why everyone is acting like its a whole new regime. They're just shuffling the deck a little bit.So what do people think SY will do almost right away personnel wise?

Who is the president of the wings and does Yzerman have to answer to Holland? Who gets the last call on trades ,signings and firings? That's what I want to know.

On some level it makes it easier that Steve Yzerman is now in charge. Holland conceded if it hadn’t been Yzerman, he would have hunkered down as long as ownership and the fan base would have tolerated it. But this had to happen. It had to happen this way.
There was a hint of melancholy when he talked about the realization that now it would be Yzerman running the meetings, now it would be Yzerman casting the vision, it would be Yzerman signing off on all the moves — friend or not, there’s probably a bit of sting there.
This would be interesting
Russian Scout lol
Why? I'd rather have Zadina.First move for Stevie, trade zadina to edmonton for 8th overall
That’s great.I hope this is true, 91 needs to be in the rafters and back in the fold.
I say Holland is to soft, Steven is tough negotiator,Yzerman has final say, that's why he took the job.

I’d suspect Yzer to fire Blashill and Blysma soon or later..
I know he got a new extension, But I believe its a short leash there.
Yzer will want his own people under him.. He finally say.
That’s Wings fans would love to see it ...
I'm hoping he brings in Murray from Tampa. Murray has an out clause if Stevie left.

Holland: Well...we'll see where we're at, and take a look at where the market is at, and if we see anything that we really like to improve our team, then we'll make a move.I sat down and watched the entire press conference. I'm really excited by how many times Yzerman stressed that the rebuild is NOT happening overnight, and that patience, patience, patience is the name of the game. It sounded very similar to what Babcock was saying when he first came on board in Toronto. "There will be pain." etc
Also thought it was nice to hear Yzerman say that if the Wings are in a similar position at the deadline this coming year, he's trading roster players for picks again.

I highly doubt. He said how Blush were good with kids and how he was good at GRI’d suspect Yzer to fire Blashill and Blysma soon or later..
