Darryl Plandowski has a new job in hockey three days after winning the Stanley Cup as part of the Tampa Bay Lightning's front office.
He's the Arizona Coyotes' new director of amateur scouting, and will start working with new general manager Bill Armstrong after he arrives in the valley on October 8.
That's a day after the NHL Draft wraps up. Plandowski helped plan the Lightning's draft strategy as assistant director of amateur scouting, so he cannot have a role in the Coyotes' draft.
"Our first thing will be which leagues are even playing. We need a plan in place of who's playing, when are leagues going to start to play, and that seems to even be a moving target," Plandowski said from his home in Halifax, Nova Scotia Thursday.
