From GMillerTSN: Ken Holland helps Detroit get its legend back. MORE:
When the flare went up in Detroit, it could be seen all the way down in Tampa. The announcement in April, 2018, that Red Wings GM Ken Holland had signed a two-year contract extension didn’t get much attention at the time, but the unusually short two-year term caught the attention of the man for whom it was intended: Red Wings’ legend Steve Yzerman.
Holland’s two year extension was timed perfectly: Yzerman’s contract with the Lightning was up in the summer of 2019, which gave him time to put things in order in Tampa. When the Lightning’s season ended with a shocking sweep at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets, Yzerman was given permission to talk to the Red Wings. According to those familiar with the negotiations, the deal with Red Wings owner Chris Ilitch was done in short order, but not before Yzerman and Holland had several long discussions.
