After it appeared things remained status quo for Chayka and the Coyotes, he told Meruelo that he wanted to leave for an opportunity with that team: a job that would be a step up from NHL GM, into a role overseeing aspects of other sports teams in the owner's portfolio.

According to an NHL source, that team was the New Jersey Devils, whose owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer own the Philadelphia 76ers, Crystal Palace FC, multiple minor league teams, an esports team and, potentially in the future, the New York Mets.

The Devils had an interim GM, Tom Fitzgerald, until July 9, when they elevated him to the job permanently. The ownership group also fit Chayka's professional philosophy, embracing analytics in each of their organizations. That includes the Devils, who have noted analytics analysts Matt Cane and Tyler Dellow working in that department.

Pretty in depth read about what happened at the link.
Yes that’s the article that seemed to be taking a swipe at the coyotes but really made me think Chayka was a dick.

Chayka didn't look good coming out of this at all, especially if it's true he took himself out of the COVID-19 testing protocol.
