Detroit Red Wings: Top 15 Moments from the Past 15 Years

2. Steve Yzerman Returns
On April 9, 2019 it was announced that Steve Yzerman would become the 11th general manager of the Detroit Red Wings. I think pretty much every fan (myself included) had an ‘I’m not crying, you’re crying’ moment when they heard the news. Our captain of 20 years was coming home to run the team he helped lead to greatness! This is a storybook ending if I ever heard one. Credit to Ken Holland for helping to make this happen. One of Yzerman’s first moves: drafting Moritz Seider. At the time, this was considered a shocking pick to many as Seider was expected to go much later in the first round. Never ever doubt Stevie Y. Let’s hope he sticks around for a while.
