“I don’t want Kyle to play every shift against (Ryan) Getzlaf, or (Joe) Thornton
or (Patrick) Marleau,” said Phoenix coach Wayne Gretzky. “This will give us a
chance to put him in a different role so he won’t have to see the biggest, best
centers every shift.”

Great strategy here by the Coyotes. This is a team that is going to become good very, very quickly. It may even be soon as next season.
