Steve Yzerman

Steve Yzerman is the kind of figure that makes loyalty look like greatness. Twenty-two seasons with the Detroit Red Wings, multiple Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe and a Selke, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and then a second act as a General Manager of the Year. That full arc, from electric scorer to defensive captain to front-office architect, is almost absurdly complete. What I admire most is the single-franchise devotion in an era of constant movement. To stay, to win, and then to build the next winners from the manager's chair is a legacy very few in any sport can match.
