Greenberg exits Red Wings GM search, stays with Tigers

Yzerman moved into a senior adviser role July 15

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 81 min read

What happened: Jeff Greenberg cited his commitment to finishing what he started with the Tigers. He has led Detroit's baseball front office since 2023 after working as an associate general manager in the NHL.

Why it matters: The Red Wings must narrow their remaining options as training camp approaches. Their next hockey chief inherits a 10-season playoff drought and Dylan Larkin's trade request.

By the numbers: Detroit finished 41-31-10 with 92 points in 2025-26, missing the playoffs by seven points.

What to watch: Detroit's hiring timeline and the new executive's plan for Larkin are the next decisions to watch.
