"Chayka's tenure with the Coyotes was cut short in 2020 when he was suspended for engaging in conduct detrimental to the league, which included illegal scouting practices. This led to the Coyotes losing their 2020 second-round pick and 2021 first-round pick."
"During his time with the Coyotes, Chayka aimed to rejuvenate the team by moving on from veteran players and acquiring draft picks, as the team had missed the playoffs for four consecutive seasons."

Chayka's time with the Coyotes involved moving on from veteran players to build a younger team, but his past raises concerns about his suitability for the Maple Leafs' upcoming challenges.
