‘I thought it was wrong.’ Red Wings legend Henrik Zetterberg talks Yzerman stepping down

Former Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg spoke out about Steve Yzerman stepping down as general manager, stating he believed the move was wrong. Speaking to Swedish publication Expressen, Zetterberg expressed disappointment over how the franchise handled Yzerman's departure following his exit in July. Zetterberg described the franchise's current situation as brutal while praising Yzerman's lasting legacy and contributions to rebuilding the team's prospect pool.

Zetterberg also revealed that the Red Wings offered him a role within the front office, which he declined. He currently remains in Sweden serving as a Senior Advisor for SHL club Timra IK, where he works with Detroit prospect Eddie Genborg.
