Steve Yzerman is no longer the general manager of the Red Wings.

We can all agree that at this point, it's clear the executive isn't all good. His handling of star players (starting with Martin St. Louis in Tampa Bay) has never been perfect.

And that's even though Dylan Larkin certainly isn't entirely blameless either. Sulking because you weren't named captain fast enough for your liking is pretty strange.

But anyway. Right now, the Red Wings need to focus on finding a new GM.

Naturally, several names are being thrown around. Yesterday, my colleague Félix Forget wrote an article about how Brendan Shanahan's name has come up in the discussion.

But what about Marc Bergevin, a former Red Wings player?

After all, we know that whenever a position like this opens up, the name of the former Canadiens GM often comes up in discussions. And that's to be expected.

He's had interviews here and there, but has never held a decision-making role.

But now Max Bultman (The Athletic) has brought the Quebec native's name into the discussion. And he seems to believe that Bergevin has a good chance of being seriously considered for a management position.

“Like Brendan Shanahan, Marc Bergevin could be a logical choice as president to mentor a young GM.” – Max Bultman on Marc Bergevin

Keep in mind that a scenario like this could have played out in New York with the Islanders.

The Athletic's article mentions that the Red Wings might be tempted to go with a young GM with a modern approach. So could a pairing with Marc Bergevin make sense? Maybe, yes.


In a nutshell

– Interesting.

– Oh.

– Todd Bertuzzi's son in Grand Rapids.

– Sad news.

– Just how much did the Flyers shoot themselves in the foot with the Leo Carlsson situation? Not only did they fail to land the player, but the guys in Philly are asking for a lot of money.

– Well done.
