Nothing because he had to sacrifice too much. He took a lesser role for the good of team and it hurt is numbers. Now everyone thinks a much worse player, Lidstrom, has had a better career. Had Yzerman left Detroit he probably would've finished in the top 10 hockey players of all-time.

You are sinking to new depths.
Feds career did take a nose dive. He would have been better to stay (at least for points and championships). Plus the Wings had offered similar $$ IIRC.
Yzerman - he cemented a HOF career by staying with the wings and won 3 cups. He probaby will be more remembered for that than if he piled up a bunch of points for a lesser club (which would have ended his career early anyway b/c of greater strain on his knee). Plus he is being groomed for management and is taking over Canada's team - Oh, the tragedy of it all
You need to get help if you are serious about this.
