Why Steve Yzerman’s Detroit Announcement Could Change Everything—But the Timing Raises Questions
There’s not a lot of people who know what he’s thinking, so a lot of us are guessing here, and I will say that. But part of me wondered if maybe Yzerman saw where this was all going and said, ‘It’s time for me. This is not for me.’ And maybe he’ll come right out and say, ‘Elliotte, you just came up with the stupidest theory that anyone has ever come up with.’ But it wouldn’t surprise me if there were some degree of truth in that.”
We know Yzerman has been a hard negotiator when it comes to contracts, not only during his time in Detroit but also as the general manager of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He wants players set up under a cap structure. Yzerman likes young players brought before paying the big bucks, and the ultimate knock on him was that he was not aggressive enough to turn the Red Wings around.
