The Toronto Maple Leafs announced the hiring of John Chayka as their new general manager and Hockey Hall of Famer Mats Sundin as senior advisor for hockey operations on Saturday, following a disappointing season that saw the team miss the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Club CEO Keith Pelley called the moves a key step toward building a championship team.
Former Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin is close to joining the NHL club's leadership, according to reports. The team's owners plan to meet the 55-year-old Swedish icon to discuss a possible collaboration. This comes amid organizational changes following a last-place finish in the Atlantic Division.
