The Steve Yzerman-era (2.0) is officially upon us, and the Captain and company have a busy few months ahead of them. Scouting, the draft, free agency, trades (?), etc. all happening over the next 12 weeks and many fans are wondering how quick will turn around be?
Obviously, the era starts this summer, and how aggressive Yzerman will be right away still remains to be seen. However, I’m here to try and help answer that the best I can. Let’s begin with Yzerman’s start in Tampa.
When Yzerman agreed to be the Lightning’s GM back in May of 2010, the Bolts were coming off a tough 80-point season.
