Ryan's back from a couple weeks away and a search firm has officially been hired to find the next GM, reportedly targeting an analytics-first hire as the anti-Yzerman. We break down the training camp timeline crunch, the confusion around Shawn Horcoff's role, the pressing need to lock up Simon Edvinsson, and why Chris Ilitch's continued silence, paired with steep ticket price hikes, is wearing on the fanbase. The back half turns to Dylan Larkin: his total silence all offseason, whether his trade request was a "bold strategy" that backfired, and who should wear the C on opening night if he doesn't.
