Peter Chiarelli Linked To Arizona Coyotes

July 27, 2020 at 8:41 pm CDT | by Zach Leach 12 Comments

Though the Arizona Coyotes are still reeling from the sudden departure of GM John Chayka on the eve of the postseason, this hasn’t stopped the speculation of what could be next for the front office. Steve Sullivan has been named interim GM for the time being, but the team may look at other options as well. One such possibility that has been mentioned by two separate sources is former Boston Bruins and Edmonton Oilers GM Peter Chiarelli.

Scott Burnside of The Athletic writes that he has heard from others that Chiarelli remains a trusted name in NHL circles and one that league officials would like to help find a new home. Arizona, perhaps the team that the league has assisted most through the years, would seemingly be a good pairing. Oilers beat writer Jim Matheson adds to the theory, stating that this is not the first he has heard Chiarelli linked to the Coyotes. Matheson applauds the promotion of Sullivan but does not rule out Chiarelli joining the front office in some capacity. While many consider Chiarelli’s tenure in Edmonton to be a disaster, he did create a Stanley Cup winner in Boston and still has plenty of supporters.

However, it’s unlikely that current Coyotes star Taylor Hall is among Chiarelli’s fans. The impending free agent was traded away from Edmonton, a city and team he enjoyed playing for, by Chiarelli. If Arizona thinks they have a chance to sign Hall this off-season, Chiarelli could be a problem. His hiring would likely indicate that Hall is not in the team’s future plans. Given the team’s tight salary cap space, this is a strong possibility anyhow. There’s also the chance that if consulted Chiarelli would opt against signing Hall long-term anyway. After all, the return that Chiarelli got for trading Hall from Edmonton to New Jersey would imply that he doesn’t highly value the player.

    If they hire that idiot they deserve to lose. That man has no clue what he’s doing, he’ll set that franchise back ten years. How people continue to hire him is beyond understanding.

    Who are the sources because it’s BS. Not a team in the league will want this guy after what he did with the Seguin trade in Boston and Hall in Edmonton.

    Crazy Pete! If he trades Hall back to the Oilers for a handful of magic beans the way he traded Hall to Jersey wouldn’t be enough. The Oil could have used the MVP season he had that season to win the Stanley Cup. But noooo!

    Given the much more serious events of today, 911, I still feel somewhat justified in saying Edmonton will never forget. Peter Chiarelli is an idiot and a failure and anyone that tries to say different must worry about pictures of themselves with a goat in Peter’s possession.
