Lamoriello won't try to lure son to Maple Leafs: report

Lou Lamoriello, who resigned as president of the New Jersey Devils on Thursday and was quickly named general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, said he has no plans to bring anyone from his former team's staff with him to his new job, the Bergen Record reported Friday.

That includes his son.

Chris Lamoriello is the Devils' senior vice president of hockey operations; he has been GM of the franchise's American Hockey League affiliate team for the past 14 seasons. He's been with New Jersey for a total of 18 seasons.

"Chris is a New Jersey Devil and he's a good hockey person," Lamoriello told the Record.
