Candidates to replace Yzerman as Red Wings' GM

Steve Yzerman has stepped down as General Manager of the NHL's Detroit Red Wings, transitioning to a senior advisory role on the search committee for his replacement. The team, led by a search committee including Ilitch Sports and Entertainment president Ryan Gustafson, is now evaluating both internal and external candidates to lead hockey operations. The GM search comes at a challenging time, following the NHL Entry Draft and the start of free agency, and amid reports that captain Dylan Larkin has requested a trade.
