vangvace 12 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 related story that asks what the short and long term reprecussions may be... Interesting read... going to lead towards Nill moving on to greener pastures. Also could see D retiring and everyone bumping up one spot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yzermania19 1 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 (edited) Interesting read... going to lead towards Nill moving on to greener pastures. Also could see D retiring and everyone bumping up one spot Ken Campbell had me until he started talking about Holland leaving to become GM of the Leafs. You know, the hockey world does not begin and end with Toronto, as much as Leaf Nation would like to think it does. Anyway, I think your scenario is a plausible one. In fact, I mentioned it on some RW message board before - either here or another one. I can easily see that happening. As good as Nill is, with Yzerman waiting in the wings, he probably won't get the GM job here. So of the trifecta that includes Holland, Nill and Yzerman, the most likely one to leave would be Nill. Then, as you said, when Jimmy D retires, everyone moves up a spot and Holland becomes senior VP (Devellano's current title) and Stevie becomes executive VP/GM. Eventually down the road Stevie will be the Wings' head honcho (Christopher Ilitch's position) once Mike and Marian decide to retire and hand the reigns of Olympia Entertainment over to Chris. But for now Stevie seems content in his VP role, learning the business side of hockey from some of the best in sports while having the flexibility to take on outside projects like the Team Canada gigs, and being able to spend time with his family. *edited for clairty Edited February 5, 2008 by Yzermania19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 It seems anything written by the Canadian media eventually ties back to the Leafs. They must sit around and think of ways to do that. Just like the Wings do with their players I imagine they're doing the same thing with Yzerman in the management role, and that is bring them along slowly and give them time to develop.
