Toronto Maple Leafs Rumours + News from Around the NHL
The Toronto Maple Leafs finally get back into action tonight against the New York Rangers, and with the NHL trade deadline on the horizon, there are a ton of news and rumors to get through.
The Toronto Maple Leafs biggest rival, the Montreal Canadiens, languishing near the bottom of the NHL standings, have finally hired their new GM. They already have hired Jeff Gorton to run the team, and now they have added Ken Hughes, the player agent, to be their GM.
I am not overtly familiar with Hughes or what he might offer as GM, but I do like that Montreal did not limit their hiring to Francophones only, which shrinks their talent pool and really puts them at a disadvantage.
