The Detroit Red Wings aren’t wasting time welcoming Steve Yzerman back into their fold.
Days after the Tampa Bay Lightning, where Yzerman was general manager, were eliminated from the playoffs, the Wings have called a press conference for this afternoon.
A tweet gave away the subject: On hand will be Yzerman, Ken Holland and Christopher Ilitch.
Holland has a year left on his contract as general manager of the Wings. He told the Free Press early this week he is headed to Sweden this weekend to scout the IIHF U18 World Championship.
The most likely scenarios are that Yzerman is named general manager and Holland moves into an advisory role, or vice versa.
