Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun: There is ongoing speculation regarding the Maple Leafs front office. Lou Lamoriello’s three-year contract is up after the season.
The Avalanche and Coyotes had interest in Maple Leafs assistant GM Kyle Dubas in the past, and the Hurricanes might be interested this offseason. How long would Dubas be willing to wait for the Maple Leafs GM position?
Mark Hunter, the other Maple Leafs assistant GM has also said he wants to be an NHL GM. If the Leafs were to hire Dubas, Hunter could look elsewhere.
