Jay Donrait: Jay Donrait here with the new General Manager of the Phoenix Coyotes, David Spang. David, why did you choose the Phoenix Coyotes of all teams to manage?
David Spang: Well Jay I liked the promise I saw with this orginization. I had a few other job offers but I wanted a challenge. As we saw last season the Coyotes finshed 20th
overall and were not the most consist team. I wanted to become the general manager to turn this often overlooked franchise and turn it in to a Stanley Cup contender and hopefully Champion!
Jay Donrait: That is going to be a tall order as you don't really have a pile of veteran talent on this team.
David Spang: That is true Jay, but we do have a lot of young potential future stars , lots of cap room and 10 draft picks in the NHL Draft including 2 first round picks.
Jay Donrait: I have heard some rumblings that you have been in contact with a former player from your past to become the head coach of the Coyotes. Is this true or just rumors?
David Spang: Jay, that is true. I would like to announce here that the next head coach of the team will be Garry Valk.
Jay Donrait: Wow! Are you a little worried about him not having any head coaching experience?
David Spang: Nope. When I took a chance on him as a player, you all remember that he went from being a fourth line player to being a top line left winger who usually lead the team in scoring. I have talked with him and that same drive that made him excel as a player is now the same drive that I know will make him excel as a head coach.
Jay Donrait: I guess time will tell. There is also some rumblings that you are going to be naming some possible trades soon. Would you like to confirm that?
David Spang: Jay, you know I am not going to say anything like that until we have the deals made. That would be unfair to anybody involved. I know I have had other general managers call to try to make a quick pitch to see if I would give up the farm for a bad contract. I will only be willing to make a deal tat will better the team.
Jay Donrait: Well thank you for joining us tonight. Good luck with the Phoenix Coyotes.
