Red Wings to Open Training Camp with Leaders in Limbo, Naming Interim GM and Saying No One Is Captain
Chris Ilitch said the team will keep searching for a permanent hockey operations leader as Shawn Horcoff takes over on an interim basis.
- On Tuesday, the Detroit Red Wings named Shawn Horcoff interim general manager, shifting former GM Steve Yzerman to a senior advisor role.
- Red Wings CEO Chris Ilitch made the move two days before training camp, filling a leadership void left when Yzerman abruptly stepped down in mid-July.
- Horcoff brings a 1,008-game NHL career and previously served as assistant general manager and GM of the Grand Rapids Griffins before his 2022 promotion.
- Uncertainty remains regarding Horcoff's authority to trade Dylan Larkin, who was stripped of the captaincy last week and remains under contract through 2030-31.
- Ilitch stated the organization remains committed to a "thorough, methodical search process" for a permanent leader, with Horcoff and several other candidates under consideration.
