New York Rangers General Manager Chris Drury made another important hire in his reshaping of the team’s organization. He hired John Lilley away from the Toronto Maple Leafs, making him the Rangers’ Director of Player Personnel and Director of Amateur Scouting. Lilley had been the Maple Leafs’ Director of Amateur Scouting the last three years and had been a scout with Toronto since 2006.

Lilley had been the face of the Toronto draft for the last three years, providing player assessments to the media.
