Detroit — The Red Wings have moved quickly to replace Pat Verbeek.
General manager Steve Yzerman announced Friday that Shawn Horcoff has been named Red Wings assistant GM and GM of the Wings' minor-league affiliate Grand Rapids Griffins.
Verbeek was named Thursday general manager of the Anaheim Ducks.
Horcoff will work alongside Yzerman on all hockey operations matters for the Red Wings, in addition to being responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Griffins, including personnel decisions, contract negotiations and player movement.
“I’m very excited for my new role with the Red Wings and look forward to continuing the winning culture and tradition in Grand Rapids,” Horcoff said.
