Yzerman to the Wings - press conference at 3

[Steve Yzerlland]

If we get Trouba, I'd be so hype.

What could/would we offer? Also imagine this type of blueline:
Karlsson Trouba
Cholo Green
Hronek Dekeyser
Byram

 

[Leronziia]

Wow.

 

[Brodie]

What could/would we offer?

Steve Yzerman giving the Jets a 30 minute clinic in how to not f***ing choke in the playoffs every year

Genuinely the happiest I have been about hockey since we won the Stanley Cup in 2008.

I was excited when we signed Hossa. I was excited when we drafted Larkin. I was excited when we drafted Zadina.

This tops any of those three.

You weren't excited in 2009 to watch game 7 of the SCF @ home? That was my last excited moment

I think the outcome of game 7 overshadows any sense of anticipation I remember having.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Bring it back again! 2.0

 

[izlez]

6th overall pick with to start as GM with the wings just like 6th overall pick to start as GM with Tampa!!

...oh...wait...

 

[Eye of Ra]

But is holland staying?

 

[Heaton]

But is holland staying?

For this year at least.

 

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

But is holland staying?

For now at least.

 

[Eye of Ra]

For now at least.

Then there is no need to celebrate. As long holland stays he is the boss. Heck even if he leaves he will rule the club behind scene. He is a dictator.

Absolutely false. Not today man not today. Let us have this.

 

[TCNorthstars]

For this year at least.

What if he wants to go GM McJesus?

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Nielsen, Ericsson, Helm and Abdelkader please have a seat in Yzerman's office he has your flight itinerary.

Coffee spit out on the floor when I saw this

Yzerman didn't have big influence on that 2010 draft. He changed the scouting director and some staff after 2010 draft and 2011 came the real results.

2011
----------
1st round - Namestnikov
2nd round - Kucherov
5th round - Nesterov
6th round - Willcox
7th round - Peca
7th round - Palat

Got 4 NHLrs from there and one was a superstar.

Palat is a very, very good player in his own right as well.

 

[Ezekial]

Waking up to good news is the best.

 

[Henkka]

Palat is a very, very good player in his own right as well.

Just unbelieveable pick at 7th round.

 

[Todd1a]

congrats to you guys from a lightning fan we will miss him

 

[obey86]

Where's the guy who thinks Yzerman's tenure in TB was a complete disaster?

 

[Run the Jewels]

Thanks for being swept, Lightning

I held off on saying that but now that it's official, YES!

 

[CREW99AW]

Congrats on getting the best GM in the league.

Only comfort I can take, is that he is not going to the Rangers
