and arizona and shane doan was our captain there mr coyote he was with the organization for 21 years um got his jersey retired like if you think of the arizona coyotes you think of shane doan the player first and then no one else right he was the guy he stuck through the team through very difficult times when it was being sold when the league owned it when every you know matched

Six weeks, there was rumors of the team moving out of the desert. matched

He would be kind of putting out fires and keeping the group focused. matched

And when I was there, we ended up making playoffs three years in a row and went to the conference finals. matched

And this is all when the league owned the team. matched

We didn't have much money. matched

So then Donor, after he retired... matched

and I'll get more into this, was kind of blackballed and stabbed in the back by the organization when Chayka and new ownership took over. matched

Chayka ended up becoming the youngest GM in all the four major sports in the history at 26 years old. matched

But fast forward to the Leafs now where Shane Doan was one of the assistant GMs. matched

They have a lot of them in a lot of different roles. matched

They give him the assistant GM label. matched

So my assumption, he's hired till July 1st, is he's no longer going to be with the Leafs. matched

So matched

went out of nowhere and I expected Tree Living the former GM to get let go because things didn't go well in Toronto they missed playoffs and there's a lot of question marks thought maybe he would get another stab at it but whatever so out of nowhere they go through this GM search and up pops up this John Chayka guy's name where he's basically going to be the first guy in line like that's the guy they're considering and matched

Tons of people in the hockey world are shocked based on how it all turned out in Arizona when he was there. matched

Not like he did a great job by any means to begin with, but it was the way that he left things. matched

So when they eventually named him as general manager, me being a Leafs fan, matched

I was like, no, my loyalty lies with Shane Doan. matched

I want nothing to do with this guy and the fact that he got hired out of nowhere to be the Toronto Maple Leafs GM. matched
