Detroit Red Wings Name Shawn Horcoff Interim General Manager
Horcoff will handle roster and salary cap decisions while the team continues a deliberate search for a permanent hockey operations leader.
- On Tuesday, the Detroit Red Wings appointed Shawn Horcoff as interim general manager, while former General Manager Steve Yzerman transitioned to senior advisor to Red Wings Governor and CEO Chris Ilitch.
- Red Wings Governor and CEO Chris Ilitch initiated the leadership change following a thorough evaluation of hockey operations after the team's disappointing finish and an active NHL-record 10th consecutive year without a playoff appearance.
- Managing roster decisions and salary cap operations, Horcoff is tasked with immediately signing restricted free agent defenseman Simon Edvinsson to a new contract before training camp starts at Little Caesars Arena.
- While the organization continues its methodical search for a permanent leader, Ilitch granted Horcoff full authority to make decisions in the best interests of the organization, noting he remains a candidate for the full-time position.
- Serving as an invaluable resource, Yzerman will continue assisting the organization in his new capacity as senior advisor to the governor and CEO as the team prepares for training camp.
