Steve Yzerman Reportedly Resigns as Lightning GM; Julien Brisebois to Fill Role

Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Steve Yzerman is stepping down from his position to shift into an advisory role within the NHL franchise.

Joe Smith of The Athletic reported Yzerman informed the players of his decision Tuesday. Bolts assistant GM Julien BriseBois is expected to fill the void.

Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press provided further details:


Yzerman earned enshrinement into the Hockey Hall of Fame for a playing career that featured three Stanley Cup championships and nine All-Star Game appearances across 22 years with the Detroit Red Wings.

The 53-year-old Wings legend joined the team's front office following his retirement in 2006. After working as the Hockey Canada executive director for the 2010 Winter Olympics, he was hired by the Lightning as their general manager in May 2010.

It's a good possibility he could be back in the Wings organization in a year or two.

I think there is a good chance of it...and Holland takes off to be the GM for Seattle. Works for me!

I get the feeling Holland would be willing to step away from GM and take an alternate position within the Wings organization - some kind of advisory role.

Good Luck Stevie Y. Holland didn't leave you much to work with. Hey, is Franzen and Weiss still getting a paycheck from Detroit?
