The Coyotes will hire former Rangers forward Don Maloney as their general manager, a person familiar with the decision said Monday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had not yet made an announcement. The Coyotes have scheduled a news conference for Tuesday to announce the move. Maloney is the Rangers' assistant GM and VP of player personnel. He has spent the past nine years in the Rangers' front office after 10 1/2 seasons as a left wing for the team.
