Detroit Red Wings begin search for new director of hockey operations

The Detroit Red Wings are ramping up their search for a new director of hockey operations, initiating interviews next week. Reports suggest the organization may opt for a single director or a two-person system similar to the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Tigers structures. Scott Harris, president of baseball operations for the Tigers, is mentioned as a potential candidate for a role with the Red Wings, although it is unclear if he is interested. The organization seeks to enhance its analytics capabilities, which could increase Greenberg's appeal due to his analytics expertise with the Tigers. Chris Ilitch has reportedly engaged a law firm to compile a list of candidates following the recent departure of Steve Yzerman.
