The Detroit Red Wings have begun interviewing candidates to succeed Steve Yzerman as general manager following his unexpected departure in mid-July. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reported that the team is considering both internal candidates, like assistant GMs Shawn Horcoff and Kris Draper, and external ones such as Andrew Thomas from the Detroit Tigers, and Brett Peterson and Jeff Kealty, both currently in NHL roles. Jeff Greenberg also stands out as a potential candidate due to his experience in baseball and a brief stint with the Chicago Blackhawks. The Red Wings will open Training Camp on September 17, intensifying the urgency of their search.
