{coyotes} Shane Doan wants to return to Coyotes in 2016-17

 

After completing his 20th NHL season in 2015-16 and with an expiring contract, it seemed it could be the end of the road for Arizona Coyotes forward Shane Doan.

But on Friday, the NHL veteran expressed his desire to return to the NHL and the Coyotes in an appearance on NHL Network.

Doan has spent his entire career with the Jets/Coyotes franchise and is the last remaining player from the original Winnipeg franchise. He's coming of a season in which he scored 28 goals, which was his best total since 2008-09, when he scored 31.

When the Coyotes announced 26-year-old John Chayka as their new GM earlier this week, he said one of his first orders of business was to sit down with Doan and discuss his future. Doan is coming off a contract that paid him $5.3 million against the cap, a deal that kicked in at the start of the 2012-13 season.

So what will Doan make on an extension? Hard to say. For comparison's sake, 44-year-old Jaromir Jagr signed a one-year extension with the Panthers this week worth $4 million against the cap. Doan will turn 40 at the start of the next hockey season, but had 19 fewer points than Jagr this past season.

{coyotes} Coyotes GM doubts he'll get to draft Matthews: report

 

Auston Matthews grew up in Scottsdale, Ariz., and attended Arizona Coyotes games growing up. But new Coyotes general manager John Chayka said Matthews likely won't be playing his home games in the desert next season.

"For us he'd be a great player," Chayka said on Sportsnet's "Hockey Central at Noon" on Friday. "Right now we're picking seventh and I don't foresee him being there at No. 7."

Matthews is No. 1 on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking of international skaters for the 2016 NHL Draft, which will be held June 24-25 at First Niagara Center in Buffalo. The Toronto Maple Leafs won the 2016 NHL Draft Lottery and are expected to select Matthews with the first pick.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound center currently is with the United States at the 2016 IIHF World Championship. He spent the season with Zurich in National League A, Switzerland's top professional league, and had 24 goals and 46 points in 36 games and was second in voting for league MVP.

Chayka, who was named Coyotes GM on Thursday, was asked if he would consider trying to put together a trade with the Maple Leafs for the No. 1 pick.

"I hope all 29 teams make a pitch to move up and pick him," he said.

Chayka said he was thrilled at the type of person Matthews has become and called his potentially being the first player picked, "a huge accomplishment for the [Coyotes] organization."

{coyotes} How much power will the youngest GM really wield?

 

Maybe it was prophetic that Dave Tippett was the last to speak.

Twenty-three minutes into the press conference unveiling the most bizarre front-office restructuring of recent memory, the highly-respected head coach had his say.

As newly appointed executive vice president of hockey operations, complete with a five-year contract extension, Tippett appears to have the final word.

Or at least the type of job security that keeps the similarly titled VP of hockey ops/head coach Patrick Roy employed in Denver.

But neither Tippett nor co-owner Gary Drummond, a pure businessman who slides in as president of hockey operations, is good click bait for this story -- even if they're the real shot-callers now.

The Arizona Coyotes hired, from within, the youngest general manager in the history of North American pro sports Thursday.

John Chayka is 26 years old, which makes him younger than 13 players on the Coyotes' active roster and 16 years younger to the next-youngest active NHL GM, Chicago's Stan Bowman.

The average age of the old boys club just plummeted faster than the Canadian dollar.

Toronto Maple Leafs prodigy Kyle Dubas, the 30-year-old GM-in-training who was reportedly approached by Arizona, said two weeks ago he wasn't ready to take one of the league's 30 GM jobs.

Ready or not, the humbled and grateful Chayka steps in after emerging as the best of 10-to-12 candidates ownership spoke to for the gig. This after just one season as an assistant GM in Arizona, where his work touched "all areas of hockey operations including NHL, minor league and amateur player evaluation as well as player development and coaching support."

Experienced, life-long hockey men such as Paul Fenton, Mike Futa, Julien BriseBois, and Les Jackson (reportedly the one candidate Arizona could not come to terms with after "extensive interviews") remain outside Club GM, while a whip-smart fast-tracker from Jordan Station, Ont., slipped through the velvet ropes faster than you can say "defensive zone start."

Chayka is best known for co-founding and directing Stathletes Inc., a hockey analytics firm that tracks data through an intensive video analysis process and searches for objective insight into player and team performance tendencies.

Yet his HockeyDB page had more lines than his Wikipedia page Thursday morning. The guy was a star centre in Junior A, who exploded for 80 points with the Woodstock Slammers in 2008-09, then had his playing career stifled by injury.

"I had a playing career that wasn't storied by any stretch," Chayka said. "It would be silly to suggest it was a goal to be at this age a general manager."

As it would be silly to suggest the Coyotes are Chayka's team now. The new management structure prides itself on collaboration, communication and innovation to deliver, as Chayka says, "a sustainable winner that this ownership group deserves."

The kid is open to new ideas and open to giving his bosses the rubber stamp. Read between the lines, and one must conclude Don Maloney wasn't.

Despite his initials, J.C. is not the saviour here, but rather a willing team player and a pioneer for the emergence of youth and deep statistical analysis into NHL front offices.

His first order of business? A lunch date with captain Shane Doan, whom he'll try to persuade to re-sign before the veteran is scheduled to hit free agency.

Chayka, by his own admission, will not be "authoritarian" in his approach, and Tippett praised the new GM's communication skills and ability to make decisions after listening to an array of opinions. There will be no shortage of those, as Arizona also plans to bring an experienced assistant GM into the fold by the upcoming draft. The three top candidates, Drummond let slip, are all currently with playoff teams.

"The difference is, the coach will be in the initial discussion," said Tippett, secure in the knowledge that he will help build the team. "Hopefully it helps our whole organization become better. Nobody spends more time with the players than the coaches do."

Tippett and Chayka speak highly of each other. They'll recommend major player decisions to ownership, which will approve them in hopes the Coyotes can start winning something more tangible than accolades for gathering a top-rated prospect pool.

"Some people you meet, you walk away and you think, 'Hey, that guy is special,' " Tippett says of Chayka. "He's going to be a difference maker."

So will Tippett. So will ownership.

{coyotes} Coyotes to promote 26-year-old John Chayka as new GM on Thursday

 

It appears the Arizona Coyotes have found their replacement for long-time general manager Don Maloney.

According to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, the Coyotes' new GM will be 26-year-old John Chayka while head coach Dave Tippett will take on a larger role in personnel.

The Coyotes confirmed that a press conference for a "major announcement" is scheduled for Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. ET.

Chayka was initially hired by the Coyotes last May as an assistant general manager with a focus on analytics.

The Coyotes' official website indicated that Chayka was involved in all areas of hockey operations, including the NHL and amateur player evaluation.

Prior to joining the Coyotes, Chayka co-founded and served as the director of hockey operation at Stathletes Inc., which is a hockey analyics firm that "tracks data through an intensive video analysis process and breaks down the game to provide objective insight into player and team performance tendencies."

The Ontario native earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario.

Arizona finished in fourth place in the Pacific Division, with a 35-39-8 record, and fired Maloney at the end of the regular season after the club missed the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.

Re: [cactuswings 3581] Storage & Other News

N909AW was on the KGYR ramp. Flight Radar had it arriving as AA9634 KPHX-KGYR on April 29.

Also, an all white B734 with a reg of 9H-AMW was seen on the ramp. It may have been PK-CKN as that was the only B734 at KGYR I could find to tie it to, but I'm not sure.
