It’s been a busy week for Steve Yzerman as he continues to trim the fat from his roster (mostly left by Ken Holland) and retool this team to his liking. The week started with a bang when he surprised the hockey world by acquiring Alex Nedeljkovic from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for Jonathan Bernier and a 2021 3rd-round pick.

After the first two days of free agency, Yzerman has made some key moves that are showing the transformation of this team.
