Sometimes, change can be painful.
For the Coyotes, however, this week has seen hammer-blow after hammer-blow of news as new owner Andrew Barroway appears to be unleashing a tornado of change in Arizona's front office.
Last Saturday, the Coyotes traded starting goaltender Mike Smith to Calgary. Then, shortly afterward, the team announced they were cutting ties with the captain and longest-tenured franchise player Shane Doan. Those two moves alone would have caused enough comment to keep the hockey community in the desert going for the next week or so, especially leading up to the draft.
