ARZ Promotes 26-year-old John Chayka to GM. Tipett Coach and Exec. VP of hockey ops.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 2m2 minutes ago
John Chayka will be named GM of ARI tomorrow. Promoted from asst GM, Chayka turns 27 on June 9. Head coach Dave Tippett expanded role.

Update:

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 9m9 minutes ago
Dave Tippett will take on the new role of Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations and head coach of the Coyotes

David Pagnotta ‏@TheFourthPeriod 9m9 minutes ago
Arizona Coyotes' Alternate Gov Gary Drummond has been appointed as President of Hockey Operations

Looks more like Colorados set up where Sherman is the GM in name but not really the guy.

A 26 year old GM? That's it, life has officially passed me by. Time to go go-carting to center myself.

Kind of saw this coming when they brought him in last year. This guy is an analytics guy like Dubas in Toronto.

If Chayka is the guy in Arizona, per @CraigCustance report, the GM will be younger than 15 of his inherited players. #Coyotes

What's his experience? Can't be too much due to his age.

Wait... His son hasn't been running the team this entire time? Oh man... It's worse than I thought in Oiler country.

Maybe now we can stop hearing about how great and young Kyle Dubas on the Maple Leafs is.

Anyways, this is kind of crazy.

Hopefully Brad makes a couple of deals with him soon, just to get the young fella some experience.

Kind of nice to see some progressive, out of the box thinking in an era where everyone tries to essentially copy one another. Although, when you see it's Arizona you can't help but wonder if cost was a partial factor in the move.

I like it, I'll be following Arizona's transactions going forward a bit more closely if nothing else.

I'm thinking he signs off on trades, but he would probably be wise to dispatch someone more senior to actually negotiate with other GMs at this point.
