On the 19th of April in 2019, No. 19 is coming home.



It's official! Steve Yzerman is coming back to be the Red Wings general manager. Check out the latest here.

The Detroit Red Wings aren’t wasting time welcoming Steve Yzerman back into their fold.

The Wings have called a press conference for this afternoon, just days after the Tampa Bay Lightning, for whom Yzerman was under contract as a senior adviser to the general manager, were eliminated from the playoffs.

A tweet, and early reports, all but gave away the announcement: Yzerman will become general manager with Holland moving into an advisory role.

A source with knowledge of the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity, later confirmed the news to the Free Press.

but Holland wasn't ready to move yet IMHO. Now if only we could get a real coach too.
