Diane Hoffman: "Needed to happen, unfortunately, a Detroit Legend."
Dave Boeberitz: "He needs to find another team altogether. It didn't work in Detroit."
Donna Beauchamp: "Finally!!! Love him as a player but it’s time for someone else to be GM."
Karen Minassian: "Finally!. I know the Red Wings love Steve, but this needed to be done years ago."
Dennis Drake: "Stevie Y won multiple Stanley Cups under Mike Ilitch but zero under Chris Ilitch. Just shows who is the better ownership for the Detroit Red Wings. Plus, it was Stevie Y that helped create Tampa Bay Lightning into a power house in the NHL. Stevie deserves the promotion."
Rob Swartz: "Should’ve been gone 5 years ago, but since he’s a hometown favorite is the reason he has stayed this long."
Gary Richert: "Wow! Didn’t see that coming!! Seems like a trade off to keep Larkin!"
Michele Loven: "There is no doubt you worked very hard and tried your very best Stevie. Its not all your fault. I am proud of you. And so happy you'll still be part of the organization."
