The Coyotes are expected to name 26-year-old John Chayka the team's new GM on Thursday at a news conference, multiple sources told ESPN.com.

Chayka will replace Don Maloney, who was fired in April, and will be the youngest general manager in NHL history.

The team, according to a source, will also announce plans for a restructured front office that will include more say in player personnel for head coach Dave Tippett.
