Arizona Coyotes new GM Bill Armstrong must teach ownership how an NHL team should operate

On the surface, and also down deep, it’s difficult to imagine a reason someone would desire to be the Coyotes general manager, other than there are only 31 such gigs in the NHL.

The Coyotes are nudging the salary cap.

There are rumors ownership wants to cut salary.

They made massive layoffs in their business operations a month ago.

They have one selection in the top three rounds of the next two drafts.

And lately they have been late paying some bills, including per diem and bonuses to players, according to multiple reports.

Welcome to Arizona, Bill Armstrong.
