Confirmed with Link: Darcy Regier Sr VP and Asst GM of AZ Coyotes
- Thread starter Puck possession wins

Vinny Boombatz
formerly ctwin22
A pretty savvy guy with good contacts and experience working with a budget team. I like it a lot, I'm impressed, the only thing is that he could easily be recruited away.

He was the guy who pried Danny Briere from us for Chris Gratton. So he can't be totally stupid. 
Plus, he played 16 games for the Roadrunners so it's almost a homecoming.

To avoid any potential conflict of interests, real or perceived. Teams always wait until after the draft and the opening of UFA to make new hires official.

I like the hire, can't go wrong with all that experience. Maybe he will convince GMDM to take a flyer on Derek Roy.

Because they see a guy who got fired, not one of the longest tenured small market GMs ever. They will endlessly recite all of his weaknesses without praising his strengths. He's the AGM, not the GM. He's there to offer ideas and for Don to use as a sounding board, not cure cancer. Treliving was much less qualified when he took the job.
I would have liked to see someone Don hadn't worked with previously. Perhaps a younger name that could offer some radical ideas.

Color me shocked.
This is a great add. The folks on the Buffalo board think it's a great signing and think that the AGM job is right in his wheelhouse.

The average coyotes FB fan is a complete moron. There's more demands for Yandle's head than this board on it's most emo day, amongst other stupidity.
For those wondering, here's his trade history: http://nhltradetracker.com/user/trade_list_by_GM/Darcy_Regier/68
Most impressive is the returns he got for guys that were being shown the door. A lot of the Sabres depth today is owed to Darcy. If it ever came to cracking open the roster after another bad year this season, he's a guy I want leading the charge.
Hodgson trade is a particular favorite of mine.

To be fair, that had a lot to do with the farm team being in the backyard of the parent team. I assume he'll keep a house somewhere in NY state and will be able to drop in on Portland more often. It sounds like he will accompany the team on eastern conference trips which will allow Don to get in more scouting time.
I'd like to stack Portland at this point and not rush guys like Rieder, Lessio, and Gaudet. Get a winning environment back there.

I think the only issue here in the desert is you have to put a product on the ice to keep people going to games. We are in a position where we have to lose only a certain amount or ownership could move the team. All signs point to ownership wanting to stay here and want it to work. But that being said, I'd rather not give them a choice of opting out.
I would love to get younger, and a few years down the road, who knows, these young kids could grow and we could be a force to be reckoned with. I'd prefer home grown talent than buying rentals each year to stay competitive.
