Keep in mind Yzerman was almost moved by the Wings in his prime because he wasn't buying into Bowman's approach to the game. But in the end he did buy in, and under the firm direction of Bowman/Babcock and Holland the Wings won a bunch of Cups. It's safe to say that in the struggle of player vs coach, Yzerman is firmly in the coach camp. It may be an old-school approach, but the team went to the Finals lasts season, without resorting to mortgaging the future. Yzerman must be doing something right.

He might have to can Cooper at some point if they don't turn things around, but until that day comes I expect Yzerman to back his coach.
