He was at the alumni game in March.
They basically didn't publicize the game at all though which is weird.

Blows my mind too because if they publicized and marketed the game. Say they play it before a home game. You can get in by paying a few dollars which gets donated to charity I’d probably do it.
Only problem is I don’t hear about the game until after it happens lol

The NHL has always been the worst of the major sports in the USA at marketing their game. No surprise they didn't try to market that alumni game. They should be using camp and scrimmages to get people interested too. Look how many people went to the free rookie game last year. That was fun and Westgate was packed and they didn't do anything other than announce it as free.

The coyotes blow so many chances like the alumni game, it's really sad.

So Chayka tried to use the Domi return from Pittsburgh to potentially get ROR. Interesting.

Man that was cool. I for some reason feel better about the Hayton pick. I wonder what serious discussions we were having with Pittsburgh might have affected who we could potentially give up to get ROR?
Interesting that Buffalo ended up acquiring Sheary anyway...

Glad we kicked the tires. It'd be foolish not to ask in that context. I wonder if that doesn't bite you a bit when/if Botterill calls Rutherford and tells him he's close to cracking Chayka on whatever they are working on. Might be why Pittsburgh was so "surprised" when Domi got traded.
I have a feeling we were going to obtain Shery and whoever, with Domi and send them and another piece for ROR. Chayka says something about a player not working because its part of the Penguins deal though...
Chayka has repeatedly said "stick with the plan" and he has. That is good news as you build a team through the draft. I'm happy we didn't trade a kid or two for a Kessel type player.

I don’t think it bites. It’s not zero sum. They’re working together to get something done. Obviously representing their own interests but it serves them all to grease the gears rather than stall things.

I love these behind the scenes type of videos. So interesting to see what's happening and some of the trade talks that were out there. Very fun for me! Now if only I could see more haha.

Seems possible to me. They also thought Tkachuk had more offensive upside than he's shown. A small part of me was hoping to hear some of their thoughts on other players around where we were drafting. Perhaps they left them out because it wasn't all positive and they don't want to put anything out there that's negative or "controversial" ha.

I got the same impression. But then he makes the comments about Hayton's combine performance (which I will presume includes the interviews) and I'm not so sure then.

Maybe it's a fluke of the video editing, but it sure does give the impression that Tkachuk was our guy, immediately followed by Hayton, on Chayka's wishlist.

In the draft video Chayka mentioned Hayton tore up the combine. I could only find the top 10 for each category, but Hayton was only on one list. Bahl was on quite a few though.

That's AEG though, not the coyotes, right? Seems like a very deceiving headline unless I'm misunderstanding the article.

About time. I think it was you who said a couple of years ago that you could see the Yotes staying at GRA. If the team starts to win and the attendance goes up, they might decide to stay there for the foreseeable future.
