After playing three seasons with the University of Minnesota, during which the Blues traded his rights to the Phoenix Coyotes in a deal involving Keith Tkachuk, Taffe made his professional debut with Coyotes' American Hockey League affiliate, the Springfield Falcons, in the 2002-03 season. He also appeared in 20 NHL games with the Coyotes that same season, scoring three goals.
Taffe appeared in 81 games over parts of three seasons with the Coyotes before being traded to the New York Rangers in exchange for Jamie Lundmark during the 2005-06 season. He appeared in two games with the Rangers that season, before being traded back to Phoenix later in the season in exchange for Martin Sonnenberg.
