I watch all of the Coyotes' games. They're one of the most cohesive teams I can remember watching. Their penalty kill is absolutely incredible and their entire team functions so well by committee.
So not only have they been without Schmaltz, Dvorak, Demers, Grabner, Raanta, Galchenyuk, and Stepan for much of the season, but because of bad injury luck, they also essentially gave away Strome and Perlini for nothing. And yet they're competing and have won something like 9 of 11 with Brad Richardson as their top scorer.
I think John Chayka should be looked at as a candidate for GM of the Year.

Moves on paper Chayka has pulled off may not be too impressive but getting the right people and role players has definitely worked out.
I want to see Tocchet get Jack Adams this year. He deserves it
