According to multiple sources, John Chayka will be named the Coyotes GM today.
Besides naming the youngest GM ever, the Coyotes will be the first NHL team to be run by, and not just advised, by a person who's connection to the game is through analytics/advanced stats and not having played in the NHL previously.
Chayka is the co-founder of a company called Stathletes and was hired last year as the analytics adviser to the team, and has gone from being ignored by Don Maloney to taking his job. The Coyotes now appear to be a team on the leading edge of using analytics and it will so exciting to see how this works out.
I will be back with a full commentary later today, but, in the meantime it's at least safe to say that Nicklas Grossmann won't be resigned now. Praise be.
