What If Steve Yzerman Was the Red Wings GM in 2016? 🤯🏒

We’re diving deep into the alternate universe where Steve Yzerman took over as GM of the Detroit Red Wings back in 2016 instead of 2019. What moves would he have made? Who stays, who goes, and how different would this rebuild look today?

From free agency decisions to draft picks and trades, we reimagine the critical years that defined the Wings’ post-Datsyuk/Zetterberg era — but through the lens of Yzerman’s trademark discipline and vision. Would Dylan Larkin still be captain? Would Moritz Seider still be a Red Wing? Would the playoff drought even exist?

🔥 In this episode:

✅ Alternate draft scenarios

✅ Free agents Yzerman would’ve never signed

✅ Trades that might’ve happened earlier

✅ How the rebuild timeline would’ve shifted

✅ Would the Wings already be Cup contenders?

This one’s for the diehards!
