Actually, Devallano now says that Ilitch was upset Lafontaine was taken and he had to assure Mr. Ilitch that they had gotten the best player.
Whether that's true or not, by the time 1988 rolled around, Yzerman and Ilitch had a very close relationship and as much as Ilitch trusted Jimmy D., I believe that Ilitch would have vetoed any trade involving Yzerman.
