Philadelphia Flyers CEO On Steve Yzerman

from Sam Carchidi of Philly.com,

Steve Yzerman and Ron Francis are among the candidates to fill the Flyers' general-manager vacancy, Dave Scott confirmed Tuesday.

Scott, the CEO of the Flyers' parent company, Comcast Spectacor, would not confirm Chuck Fletcher, 51, as a candidate, but sources indicate he is high on the team's wish list. Now a New Jersey Devils adviser, he had a mostly successful nine-year run as the Minnesota Wild's GM. He was fired after the Wild's first-round playoff exit last season....

Yzerman, who resigned as Tampa Bay's general manager before the season, was a Hall-of-Fame player with Detroit.
