Crazy times...

The worst kept secret in hockey...Steve Yzerman is the new GM of the Red Wings...

However there are some GM dominos here...

Ken Holland is staying on in Detroit...

Kelly McCrimmon is up for both the Oilers job AND the Seattle Kraken job...

Mark Hunter is neck and neck with McCrimmon for the Oilers job...but NOT the Seattle Job..

If McCrimmon decides to head to Edmonton, Ron Hextall is the leading candidate for the Seattle job....and that scenario could land Hunter into the Hurricanes gig...

McCrimmon won't talk to anyone officially until the Knights season ends...

Meanwhile, I am told another relatively unknown is interviewing in Edmonton...

Also, per Pierre Lebrun, Bill Zito, Blue Jackets Associate GM, is also gaining popularity by the minute and he may be a darkhorse in Edmonton....and also Carolina.. As the Jackets rise so does the stock teams are placing in Zito, who has shown the magic touch taking the Jackets AHL "Monsters" to a Calder Cup....and a lot of those players are now part of this historical run in Columbus.

So the plot thickens....

more to come on winners and the games...
