Serious question Tanner...

You just said the ANALYTICS community (which you are clearly a member of) considered Chayka's decisions to be insane.

Which decisions?
What made them insane?
You've spent years defending nearly every decision by Chayka - remember the day Domi for Galchenyuk went down and you declared it a huge win? You defended every trade, every contract, but now apparently the analytics community, which you are a big member of think Chayka was insane. So which decisions?

You supported Domi for Galchenyuk.
You loved the Kessel move.
You loved the Hall move.
You loved DeAngelo and a top 10 pick for Stepan and Raanta.
You loved the Keller contract.
And Schmaltz contract.
And Dvorak contract.

So what was insane then?

Tanner could care less about the Yotes..All he does is write inflammatory blogs to get his clicks. The real shame is that Ek is too much of a sellout to shiiit can Tan Tan

Gotta give credit to Jimmy where credit is due:

You were on this story like a dog on a bone: the first to report this, the first to outline what this means moving forward, the first to speculate on the story behind the story.

Thanks, Jimmy.

While less dedicated Coyotes bloggers have been pissing away the summer with irreverent (sic: irrelevant) blogs about movies and music and kool-aid flavours, you had numerous blogs that gave us true insight and analysis.

Keep Hockeying, Jimmy.

And frank the haterz - it's not like they could look in your Hockeybuzz archives to May 2016 to see what you said about Chayka when the Coyotes appointed him GM.

No, seriously. It would be next to impossible to look that poop up.

They’re probably more worried about how they’re going to get their next meal.

Chayka quits - 'Yotes pissed

There you go -- I did better than jimmie

Nice. Now do it for money. Throw a few anti trump quotes in and you are set on this site.

Honestly though you could throw a few anti polisi quotes in and get the same traffic.

It’s all about baiting the gullible.

Aw Jimmy has a lemming who can't think for himself. Here's an idea. Why don't you go (frank) yourself?

Why do you bother with it?

This is a hot mess. I cant wait for both sides to come out & tell the truth. Hockey is the best/worse about the information they give out. Get to the bottom of it & move on.
Personally, the Coyotes have ALWAYS had front office drama. They need an enema!

Who would have ever thought that putting an ice hockey team in the middle of the desert (without forcing every other team to give them players of actual value) would yield terrible results?

The reality is the Coyotees won't start winning until they start making real money and stop surviving on NHL handouts. They were hot garbage long before Chayka was hired.

And BTW, that release from the Coyotees was unprofessional.

Thus the "without forcing every other team to give them players of actual value."

Good morning Tanner. Hope your weekend wasn't too busy. Would love an explanation on this whole Chayka and Analytics thing. You claim that most people in the analytics community felt that Chayka's approach was insane. Can you explain specifically which decisions the "analytics community" thought were insane?

My biggest issue was when they wrote "the greatest fans in the NHL," incorrectly using the plural form of "fan."

Greg, the Coyotes' fan, must be very upset by this.
