## Resource

Steve Yzerman is stepping down as President and GM of the Detroit Red Wings after seven years, ending a tenure marked by a decade-long playoff drought — the longest active in the NHL — despite the team’s new arena hosting no playoff games. His exit follows captain Dylan Larkin’s rumored trade request, fueled by frustration over lackluster offseason moves. The Wings now face a critical front-office restructuring decision: one combined role or split leadership? With only one of four current NHL teams with combined roles achieving consistent playoff success, the future looks uncertain. Yzerman’s transition to Senior Advisor adds complexity, as the new exec must navigate Larkin’s potential departure while balancing Yzerman’s lingering influence.
