Kyle Dubas and the Penguins steal major decision maker away from Toronto
The Pittsburgh Penguins landed Kyle Dubas quickly after his departure from Toronto, and now they've stolen a key member of the Maple Leafs front office.
While the core of the Toronto Maple Leafs has been in tact for some years now, in recent drafts they've managed to land some fantastic pieces for the future, with the likes of Matthew Knies and Easton Cowan providing hope for the present and the future. Now, the man behind the picks, Wes Clark, a key member of the Maple Leafs front office has officially departed the organization.
Word today that Wes Clark, big decision-maker at Toronto's draft table the last few years, is exiting the organization.
We will see where he ends up, but all eyes on Pittsburgh.
