UPD: Coyotes say Chayka has quit as Coyotes GM
https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/...eaded-divorce/
Quote:
At 5 p.m. ET Friday night, each NHL team had to submit its 52-person list for travel into the Edmonton/Toronto bubbles. Earlier in the day, Arizona indicated it “expected” GM John Chayka’s name to be submitted.
As I write this, I can’t say for certain that he’s on the list. But, whether it is or isn’t, there is a growing sense that Chayka and the Coyotes are headed for divorce.
The GM was not in attendance for the team’s scrimmage on Friday afternoon. One source indicated his office had been “cleaned out.” Ever since it was reported that Chayka did not attend a dinner last week with unrestricted-free-agent-to-be Taylor Hall, more stories have filtered out about agent/team conversations that did not involve the current manager.
Representing the Coyotes is some combination of President and CEO Xavier Gutierrez, assistant GM Steve Sullivan (maybe the next GM?) and Alex Meruelo Jr, the owner’s son, listed as Strategic Advisor, Business and Hockey Operations.
“Chayka’s gone dark,” one agent said. (He did not respond to messages for this story.)

Of the two infant GMs, I thought he was doing a half decent job compared to Dubas.

Who pays who support payments? Are the kids going to be under joint custody or sole custody?

Agree. Think he gets another GM gig if this rumor is true.

If Conroy leaves for a GM position, I wouldn't mind bringing in Chayka as an AGM.

His new long term extension hasn't even kicked in yet. I can see when the Leafs do that stuff since they pretty much have unlimited money but not Arizona.

Why, the guy has never had a great season, the improvements that the Coyotes have made haven't been some kind of miraculous turn around, he only made the playoff this year in this weird situation where almost everyone gets in.
When you look at his draft record its spotty at best.
When you look at the 20-21 season he's traded himself into a position where he has 1.5 million dollars in cap space with 17 players signed.
He might understand spreadsheets, but I think he's not great when it comes to the other key aspects out of the job. I think he's over rated based on a wonder kid reputation that's not really true.
Maybe bring him in to run the spreadsheet formatting department.

Chayka is probably a great analytics guy to have in the background, but you can't run a team on that alone. The eye test for judging skill trumps any fancy stats and managing personalities is major.
It was a cool experiment, but I always though that is bound to fail.

Do we really think Chayka is running the Coyotes on analytics alone?

That's not what he's saying though. He's doesn't seem to be strong in other aspects of the job and statistics will only get you so far. Even when I look at that team now, it looks like an average team at best, that doesn't look very well built.
