Assistant General Manager Steve Sullivan has taken interim charge of the Arizona Coyotes, following John Chayka’s official resignation.
Per the team’s official statement, Sullivan has been named interim General Manager until the team appoints someone to the position permanently, but the former NHL forward deserves a serious chance at the job himself.
Sullivan is well known within the Coyotes organization, having previously spent a 33-game spell as a player before joining them off the ice during the 2014/15 season.
As a player, Sullivan had a very respectable career, racking up 1011 regular-season appearances and registering 747 total points (290 goals, 457 assists) while playing for teams such as the New Jersey Devils, Toronto Maple Leafs, Chicago Blackhawks, and Nashville Predators.
