Steve Yzerman, the former Red Wings captain who is set to become the franchise's general manager on Friday, left Detroit to become the Tampa Bay Lightning's general manager in 2010, but, in hindsight, there’s a clue he may have always thought about about returning.
Property records show he never sold his Bloomfield Hills home.
The Wings' news conference, scheduled for 3 p.m., is expected to also announce general manager and Ken Holland, the current GM with a year left on his contract, is moving into an advisory role.
