Steve Yzerman has left his position as the general manager and executive vice president of the Detroit Red Wings. He will continue to serve the organization as a senior adviser to CEO Chris Ilitch. Yzerman, the longest-serving captain in Red Wings history, was appointed as general manager in April, 2019. The team had a 224-251-9 record during his tenure and never made the playoffs. Last season, the Red Wings went 41-31-10, missing the postseason by seven points. Yzerman has also worked in the Tampa Bay Lightning's front office, winning the NHL General Manager of the Year Award in 2015.--Taavi Pailk
