Yzerman also added that he thinks the AHL will start in early February barring a major setback. Which teams and how many teams is still in question. #LGRW— Daniella Bruce (@daniellabruce_) November 4, 2020
YZERMAN:
expects 2020-21 season @NHL, and if they can get fans in buildings, @TheAHL
expects non playoff teams to have about a week extra training
conscientious, disciplined individual training during previous long layoffs (lockouts) proved decisive; expects #RedWings know!!— gregg krupa (@greggkrupa) November 4, 2020
Yzerman just concluded Zoom call with reporters: pleased with contract for Mantha, is optimistic and hopeful some sort of NHL season ahead, and said Timoshov is exploring different options but still could return to #RedWings— Ted Kulfan (@tkulfan) November 4, 2020
Steve Yzerman said today the Red Wings would have liked to find an agreement with Tyler Bertuzzi on a contract longer than the one-year deal he was awarded in arbitration. Obviously they couldn’t find that agreement, but worth noting they were trying to.— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) November 4, 2020
YZERMAN:
mentioned @antomantha8 injured three times, fighting.
said fighting happens. not going to tell a player not to fight.
but, says key goals for mantha are health, conditioning. (implying some confidence performance will follow!) #RedWings @DetroitRedWings https://t.co/l5lWgDTua9— gregg krupa (@greggkrupa) November 4, 2020
Steve Yzerman said Wednesday he would consider adding another player to the Red Wings roster as the start of the season gets closer. Lots of free agents still available right now.— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) November 4, 2020
Yzerman says RFA forward Dmytro Timashov is “looking around, weighing his options, and is still a possibility to re-sign” with the Red Wings.— Max Bultman (@m_bultman) November 4, 2020
