Just need to pop my head in to share some possible insider info I picked up. Recently had a long conversation with Kyle Kos, former 2nd round pick of TBL back in 97. He never made the NHL, but bounced around the AHL, ECHL, and a few other leagues throughout his career. However he did play for the Vipers and the Motor City Mechanics during the lockout when Chelios, Avery, and Hatcher were there. He became good friends with Chelly during that time and knows the Wings brass decently enough. I believe @LeftWinger mentioned he heard a rumor from a friend of a Wings trainer earlier this season that Yzerman would be taking over in January. Obviously that didn't happen... or did it kinda? Mr. Kos told me, in not so many words, that Yzerman has been running the Wings since pretty much the moment he stepped down as GM of Tampa. His "advisory role" with Tampa is all show, as he is actually advising the Wings behind the scenes. Holland is all but a figurehead, and his voice has come in second to Yzerman's all season. Any trades we witness over the next month will be the work of Stevie Y, not Holland. Stevie will officially assume the title of GM when his contract on paper with Tampa expires this summer. At that time, Holland will graciously step-down and will join Seattle Hockey Ops under senior advisor Dave Tippett. Just prior to meeting Kyle Kos, I remember reading an article in the Seattle Times that had an interview with Dave Tippett. In the article Tippett basically alluded to the fact that he already had someone penciled in as his GM, and that the name would be "surprising" if he was able to share it *cough* Ken Holland *cough* TLDR: Yzerman is already Wings GM and Holland is already in Seattle all but physically. EDIT: Kos also said Avery is a super nice/cool dude in real life, and Kid Rock is super insecure and tries to be "one of the boys" whenever he's with Chelly and other pro athletes, but it just comes off as insecure and sad lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I disagree massively on your statement. You going to tell me Blashill would find a job right away, while proven winners like Joel Quenneville still doesn't have a coaching job anywhere or even from what I heard been talked to? Yes, I know the roster isn't what Quenneville's was but this team is better then what Blashill has done to it. All Blashill has done is spew bulls*** into our ears, and everyone is sick of it. He isn't an NHL coach and never will be. So please tell me what Blashill has done that would make him a better coaching fit then someone like a Quenneville? Here is the list of what I could think of.... F***ING NOTHING. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One team executive outside of Detroit felt like it would be a lock. “I guarantee he does,” said the executive of Blashill landing another job. “He’s a pretty respected guy. He’s prepared. He’s open-minded, very competitive. He’s a quick thinker who is a confident, strong leader who is also able to check his ego.” From someone who gets paid to do hockey stuff. Anyway, think whatever the f*** you want. But at least be mindful that there are people out there that feel he's a good coach. kewlllll 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
