"We are very pleased to name John as our new assistant general manager," said Coyotes GM Bill Armstrong in a prepared statement. "John is extremely knowledgeable about the game and with 20-plus years in the NHL, brings a tremendous amount of experience to our hockey operations department. We are thrilled to have him join our team and I am looking forward to working with him."
"I'm very excited to join the Coyotes organization," said Ferguson in the same statement on the Coyotes' official website. "I'm grateful to Bill, Xavier Gutierrez and Mr. Meruelo for providing me with this opportunity. I'm excited about the Coyotes vision and plan for the future and look forward to helping Bill build a long-term winning team in the Valley."
