Based on all the reports that have come out about Chris Ilitch, my guess is Yzerman had been handcuffed the whole time. Maybe he had a deal he was going to take for Larkin and Chris said no so he quit. I firmly believe Steve stepped down because he couldnt make decisions.

25 years ago, Queen Elizabeth broke with tradition and ordered the US National Anthem played at Buckingham Palace.
Today, by command of The King, that same anthem rang out again on the anniversary of 9/11.
The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester stood in for His Majesty, joined by US Ambassador Warren Stephens.
Never forget. 🇬🇧🇺🇸

Nick Lidström registered 11 goals and 60 points during his NHL rookie season in 1991-92, and over the next 19 seasons, he cemented his place as one of the best all-around defenders the NHL has ever seen.
In typical Nick Lidström fashion, he made sure to credit and praise those around him, acknowledging his defence partner, the late Brad McCrimmon, and assistant coach Dave Lewis. ❤️
