GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Don Maloney has held one of the most unenviable positions in sports the past four years, trying to build a roster with no owner and a skimpy budget. He managed to navigate his way through it successfully, leading the Phoenix Coyotes to the playoffs three times and the best season in franchise history two years ago. The NHL rewarded Maloney on Friday, signing the Coyotes general manager to a long-term contract that will keep him with the franchise no matter where it ends up playing. "We are very pleased that Don has agreed to sign a long-term contract extension with the Coyotes," NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. "Since joining the team in 2007, Don has done an outstanding job managing his team and building a competitive roster that has produced on the ice, even given less than ideal circumstances off the ice. The NHL remains committed to securing the Coyotes future in Glendale under new ownership, and we believe Dons long-term agreement evidences that he is equally committed." Maloney has been Phoenixs general manager for six seasons, the past four while operating under the restraints of being run by the NHL after former owner Jerry Moyes took the franchise into bankruptcy in 2009. Maloney was honoured as the leagues General Manager of the Year Award in 2010 and led Phoenix to three straight 40-win seasons for the first time in franchise history. Maloney also pulled the strings to build a roster in 2011-12 that earned the Coyotes their first division title in 33 years as an NHL franchise and their first trip to the Western Conference finals. The lack of an owner seemed to catch up to the Coyotes this year, when they went 21-18-9 in the lockout-shortened season, but they finished only four points out of making the playoffs. Phoenix still doesnt have an owner, but a resolution to the saga is expected to come this season, either with a new owner that will keep the team in Arizona or with relocation. Maloneys contract, along with coach Dave Tippetts, was set to expire this summer. "I am grateful to continue working for this franchise," Maloney said in a statement released by the team. "We have a strong core of talented people, both on and off the ice, who are committed to building a championship team and a first class organization. I would like to thank NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly for their tremendous support these past few years." The 54-year-old Maloney joined the Coyotes after 10 seasons in the New York Rangers front office. He also worked for the New York Islanders, serving as general manager in 1992-95, and was a scout for the San Jose Sharks in 1996-97. Maloney played 13 NHL seasons with the Rangers, Hartford Whalers and Islanders.Carmelo Anthony Jersey .ca look back at each of the Top 10 stories of 2013.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. http://www.nuggetsprostore.com/kids-allen-iverson-nuggets-jersey/ .

PAUL, Minn.Cronulla second-rower Wade Graham feels his combination with James Maloney is finally hitting its straps and it could be enough to finally earn him that NSW jumper.Graham admits its been a testing couple of weeks after fulfilling his boyhood dream when he was named in the Blues squad for State of Origin II, only to have it ripped from under him because of a high tackle suspension.He admitted to going through a dark spot which he described as the toughest period of his career.It was so tough for me, its one of the hardest things Ive ever had to do, to watch a game you could have been a part of and were so close to being a part of, Graham said.Its something I dreamed of doing since I was a kid and to actually get there and to achieve it and then to lose it due to circumstances that you cant do anything about, it was obviously tough.But it is what it is.The heartache of having to watch from the sidelines as Queensland sealed victory would have been compounded by his knowledge that his replacement Tyson Frizell was the best on field for NSW and looks certain to retain his spot.However, after yet another standout effort for the Sharrks in their record-setting 34-24 win over Parramatta on Saturday, Graham too has a strong claim for a spot in Laurie Daleys squad.ddddddddddddWhat will only strengthen his case is his partnership on the Sharks left side with NSW playmaker James Maloney which is going from strength to strength.After conceding an early 18-0 lead, it was the Sharks left edge which sparked their revival with Graham looking dangerous every time he ran the ball.Its taken a while for (his partnership with Maloney) to get going this year, Graham said.Working with Jimmy a lot, hes a dominant playmaker and we both play what we see, were ad-lib players, we play up on the ball, we play flat at the defence, and sometimes he sees something different that I see and its taken a while to get that communication right.To get that combination for him to sometimes pull back and let me play and when for me to pull back and let him play.Its a work in progress and weve got a lot of improvement in us and well be working hard to get better.
