## Resource

Steve Yzerman has been 'promoted' out of his role as GM and President of Hockey Operations, launching a search for the Red Wings next decision maker. After 7 years and no playoffs, the decision was hardly a surprise and even understandable, what WAS surprising however was the timing. Why fire him after the GM hiring cycle was over with, after the draft and free agency, and in the middle of the biggest storyline in decades? #LGRW
