For the past eight seasons, it has been an incredible honor to work for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Over the last few days, John Chayka and I had several discussions about my role moving forward. During those conversations, my expectation was that I would be in a position to continue to have a significant impact within the organization. However, it became clear that his leadership group envisioned a different path. Since joining the club in 2018, I have been immensely proud of the work our player development team has accomplished. I want to sincerely thank the incredibly talented individuals, coaches, management, and players whom I have been fortunate enough to work alongside over the last eight years. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity, wish the team nothing but the best moving forward, and look forward to the next chapter.

Will the Leafs add another goalie? Chayka: "We've got this really interesting goalie pipeline. And part of our evaluation is the young guys and what they've shown. So I think we're trying to balance that. Anthony's (Stolarz) been, by our models, a top goalie the last two years. Obviously, health and durability has been the question, but we can't guarantee that it's going to be different. On another goalie that we bring in, that's always a bit of a question mark. So we're trying to find some balance in all of that, but it's a key position, and if there's a chance to make it better, like any position, we'll do that. But that's where we're at today."
John Chayka on what the priorities are for the #Leafs with the Draft over when it comes to the roster: "I think it's depth for the most part. I think there's a few holes that we have, but we're going to be really focused on the depth early and see if we can round out the roster. And then, again, there's some bigger swings that we'll take and look at some things, but ultimately it's a two-sided marketplace. And there's smart agents out there that are trying to maximize the value for their players as well. And we're going to be disciplined in the marketplace and make sure we do our best to make the team as best as possible."

3. Matthew Knies Team: Toronto Maple Leafs Position: Winger Shoots: Left 2025-26 stats: 23 goals, 66 points, 79 games Age: 23 Contract: $7.75 million AAV through 2031 The more his name works itself through the rumor mill, the more likely it seems that the Leafs have committed to moving on here. Knies is a young power forward with an ideal blend of size and skill who is signed until his late 20s. He's a rare commodity on the trade market, and Toronto seems focused on taking advantage of that scarcity. While the Leafs want to downplay the likelihood of a trade, rival executives believe there's a move coming here.

Maple Leafs new Head Coach, Jim Hiller, on if he spoke to any of the players since getting hired "It's really early, and we have to take a little step back and say there are some really good hockey players in that locker room. We mentioned Auston and 'Willy,' a couple stars in the league."
Maple Leafs GM, John Chayka on the hiring of head coach, Jim Hiller "We hired based on what we believed would be best to support the growth (of the players), both individually and collectively. We hired someone who could create an environment where people are challenged, accountability and trust can coexist, and players have the opportunity to maximize their abilities."
