DETROIT -- Steve Yzerman has left, but the management team that helped build the Detroit Red Wings into perennial Stanley Cup contenders will remain intact for at least several more years.

The Red Wings are close to signing general manager Ken Holland and assistant GM Jim Nill to long-term contract extensions, club senior vice president Jimmy Devellano said Tuesday.

“You can be rest assured they’re closing in on long-term extensions,’’ Devellano said. “They’ll be around a long time.

“They’ve done such a good job and we’ve looked after them.’’

Holland and Nill both have one year remaining on their current contracts, but the organization was eager to make sure both stick around for a while. Devellano said the parameters are in place, only some minor details need to be finalized.

“I love it here, love the organization. The ownership has been incredible to work for,’’ Holland said. “We’re in the process of working to a conclusion. We’re not there yet, but I don’t see any reason why it won’t happen.’’

Holland, 54, has been with the organization for 27 years, the past 13 as GM.

In that time, the Red Wings have won more Stanley Cups (three) and regular-season games (588) than any other NHL franchise. They also have won four Presidents’ Trophies (top overall record) and nine Central Division titles since Holland took over in July 1997.

Nill, 52, has been the assistant GM for 12 seasons. He oversees the drafting and development of prospects.

Nill’s extension, just like his current contract, does not contain an escape clause allowing him to pursue a general manager’s job with another team.
