What If Steve Yzerman was the Detroit Red Wings General Manager starting in 2016? – Part 2 🏒🔥

We’re back in our alternate Red Wings universe — this time picking up in 2018 and looking at what would’ve happened if Steve Yzerman had been GM since 2016. In this episode, we recap the 2018 season and explore how the 2019 and 2020 seasons might have played out differently under Yzerman’s vision.

Would the rebuild have moved faster? Would certain free agents have never been signed? Which trades and draft picks could have changed the franchise’s entire trajectory?

From lineup changes to front office strategy, we break down how “The Yzerplan” might have rewritten the Wings’ recent history — and whether Detroit could have been a contender even sooner.

✅ 2018 season recap with a Yzerman twist

✅ Moves that could’ve reshaped 2019 & 2020

✅ Alternate draft picks & trades
