Jr's title is "Chief Brand Officer." I believe the hockey operations is under Patrick Murphy and I have no idea who is the Coyote's "Strategic Advisor" is, or if they have one, or had one. Maybe you are getting Jr. and XG mixed up?
According to AM Jr's LinkedIn Profile his first position with the Coyotes was as Strategic Advisor. That was his position for over a year and a half before being named Chief Brand Officer. So based on the common definition of "strategic adviser" he was being paid to look over Patrick Murphy and everyone else's shoulder and provide advice about operations, both business and hockey. He might not have made decisions, but he certainly influenced them.
