That Detroit Red Wings general manager Steve Yzerman runs a tight ship was in high evidence Wednesday.
Around noon, names started popping up on Twitter of who the Seattle Kraken had selected from the lists of players submitted Saturday by 30 teams (2017 expansion team Vegas Golden Knights was exempt). By around 1:30, there was a name associated with every team save the Wings.
The big reveal was supposed to happen during the expansion draft show Wednesday starting at 8 p.m. (ESPN2).
Since taking command of the Wings in April 2019, Yzerman has played his cards very close to his chest — and made sure those in his hockey operations circle did the same.
