Yzerman has bosses that he reports too, just like CC does.

Kostin didn't receive a qualifying offer and was likely not going to, so Detroit wouldn't have to offer sheet him. They could have just waited a few days and signed him for free if they really wanted. I guess they liked the player enough that they didn't want to take the chance of him signing elsewhere though.
