Yzerman will assume an advisory role while Julien BriseBois takes over the general manager post. But Yzerman is widely considered to be the NHL’s best general manager, making the abrupt change all the more shocking. But the move has already stoked speculation that Yzerman will eventually become the Red Wings’ next general manager. Tampa has reached three conference finals and one Stanley Cup final since Yzerman became the general manager in 2010.
