President and CEO Ahron Cohen and General Manager John Chayka held an open-invite Town Hall for Arizona Coyotes fans on Friday, where they answered pre-selected fan questions at the Renaissance Hotel. The team then headed across the street to Gila River Arena, where prospects competed in an intra-squad scrimmage. Here are five takeaways from the final night of the 2019 prospect development camp.
1. In free agency, Chayka said that he had interest in acquiring right wing Kevin Hayes, who instead signed a seven-year, $7 million contract with the Philadelphia Flyers. Chayka feels that he got a comparable player for a better price in Carl Soderberg, who put up 49 points for the Colorado Avalanche last season.
