lol
God damn that marketing department needs raises

I doubt that Yzerman is on the hot seat as far as the owner goes and that’s all that matters for now

Does anybody know the terms of Yzerman's contract? I searched for a little while, could not find much.

I agree with Machine, Chris Illitch's opinion is the only one that matters. He is almost completely insulated from fan ire and very cheap, so I do not see him firing Yzerman. with term left on his contract. Unless something goes drastically wrong.

Not that Yzerman deserves to be fired IMO, or even be on the hot seat. If they do not make the playoffs and play a competitive round, his seat will be very hot to me. Without a damn good. excuse, i.e. 14 rookies in the lineup.
It was my understanding there would be no math in the debates.

He's starting to emit that Avila odor. Y hasn't quite said playoffs here we come like stupid Al did. But he is clearly trying and his pipeline isn't that impressive regardless of what some of the fandom have said. It's very possible Wings don't make it next year because the team is meh or worse. And the year after that, you graduate more of a less less than stellar pipeline who look alot like Veleno and Ras. And you are pretty much back to here with a strange mix of placeholders, less than elite performers and a couple kids.... who will probably play in the bottom six and bottom D pairing. It don't sound so great to me. Maybe a big name or two make it here to keep the fans engaged.
