EliteProspects/DLLS Stars/Shap Shots’ Sean Shapiro discusses the potential fit between Dallas Stars assistant GM Scott White and the Red Wings this morning, but Shapiro’s backgrounder on “how we found ourselves here” is almost as pertinent:
The Red Wings have also hired a consulting group ZRG Partners, to run the GM search, and that search has, at some point, involved interviewing current Detroit Tigers GM Jeff Greenberg, who took his name out of the running for the NHL job last week.
We also know the Red Wings/ZRG Partners have asked other NHL teams for permission to interview people, but we don’t know exactly who or how many people they have officially interviewed.
Stars assistant general manager Scott White, who has been mentioned as a candidate for the job, has been in Detroit this weekend for the NHL prospects tournament, which leads to some curiosity on whether he’ll get Yzerman’s old post at some point.
Those are facts, as I understand them at this point. It’s a limited list of facts, however, because Red Wings ownership, particularly Chris Ilitch, have effectively hidden from the media or answering public questions for a long, long time.
All of that being said, I figured it’s probably a good idea to lay out things I’ve learned and been able to establish this when it comes to the Red Wings, Scott White, and his potential candidacy.
