Bob McKenzie released the first official episode of the TSN Hockey Bobcast for the 2018-19 campaign Friday, and at one point answered a listener’s question about Yzerman’s future as an executive free agent next season and the possibility of the Red Wings.

“Obviously everybody knows by now that Steve Yzerman is in a senior advisory consultant role to new general manager Julien BrisBois of the Tampa Bay Lightning,” noted McKenzie. “For family and geographic reasons, Yzerman decided to go back to Michigan.

“I’m not saying there’s been any discussions - because if there were it would be tampering - but I think everybody in hockey feels like Steve Yzerman is destined to end up with the Detroit Red Wings.
