Detroit Red Wings begin search for new general manager

The Detroit Red Wings are advancing their search for a new general manager, having hired a search firm to identify candidates. The organization is expected to begin the initial interview process as early as next week.

Reports indicate that the incoming leadership will be granted full autonomy over hockey operations, marking a departure from the previous structure involving Steve Yzerman. The team is prepared to provide necessary resources to the successful candidate and is open to hiring either one individual or two people to manage the hockey department.

In an unconventional move, the Red Wings are reportedly considering candidates with non-traditional backgrounds. This includes potential interest in Jeff Greenberg, the current general manager of the MLB's Detroit Tigers. Candidates will be required to present a concrete organizational plan during the interview process.
