Detroit Red Wings owner Christopher Ilitch has engaged a search firm to find a new general manager following Steve Yzerman’s transition to a senior adviser role on July 15, during which the team did not make the playoffs. Ilitch aims to hire an analytics-driven GM, who will face challenges, including captain Dylan Larkin’s desire to leave, although he holds a no-trade clause. Assistant GM Shawn Horcoff is currently managing day-to-day operations, excluding trades. The team reports to training camp on September 17.
