I agree, unless you're looking at an IA chronology.

23 May 15 - GM Don Maloney hires John Chayka as Assistant General Manager, Analytics for the Arizona Coyotes
05 May 16 - John Chayka appointed General Manager of Arizona Coyotes

You should probably mention the following if you keep the non-GM info
05 May 16 - Promotes Dave Tippett to Executive VP of Hockey Operations

I also like the idea of gray for the head office changes and black for any Chayka non-player moves.

Yeah he moved a pick. Whether we get a player from it or not would be the next transaction to put in this thread. But moving the 5th should be documented.

Don't forget re-signing Cunningham. It doesn't help the NHL roster much (beyond call up depth), but it is the first RFA re-signed (especially if you put dates so we can follow trends if he's in the position longer than this season).

I feel like if we didn't sign him it would make it that much more important to note it as that would be somewhat of a strike against him. At least that's my .02 cents

Yeah he moved a pick. Whether we get a player from it or not would be the next transaction to put in this thread. But moving the 5th should be documented.

I understand your points, i was just going to wait and document all the moves he's made before the draft at one time.

Can we mark down handled Doan negotiation like a newbie? Anyone not expecting a 1 year $4.75-$5.75 M deal?
