[News] Coyotes to name Bill Armstrong as GM

[Ashasx]

So new GM can't participate in the draft. Fired their current scouting director.

It's a good thing they dont have a 1st.

Yeah it also seems less likely they will trade players for draft picks like being rumored (ie. Kuemper for a 1st)

Don't see Armstrong trading a big chip for a 1st rounder and then trusting whoever is left on the staff to pick a player he actually likes. What if they pick a prospect he thinks will bust. Waste of an asset.

More likely he trades for prospects/players now.

Seems the Coyotes are cleaning house. Assistant GM Lindsay Hofford is also out the door.

I didn't realize Hofford was their AGM/Director of Scouting. His last kick at the can for coaching appears to have been in Lethbridge. I thought he went back to coaching in the OHL. I'm surprised to see he made it to the NHL.
