Red Wings owner Ilitch: ‘I understand fan frustration’
from Sportsnet,
The Red Wings entered the season already with the longest active playoff drought, but off-season turmoil on multiple fronts created plenty of noise as the team returned to the ice in September.
That turmoil included an unresolved trade request from former captain Dylan Larkin, a prolonged contract negotiation with top-pair defenceman Simon Edvinsson and Ilitch's decision to fire general manager Steve Yzerman in July. Yzerman's replacement has not been found and Shawn Horcoff was promoted to interim general manager in mid-September, tasked with trying to get the team back on track.
