Are the Maple Leafs closing in on a general manager?
Lost in the shuffle of Mike Babcock’s ‘decision’ and his fashion choice for his TSN interview Friday night(flip-flops!), Sportsnet reported some candidates to rule the Maple Leafs.
The list includes Tampa Bay assistant general manager Julien BriseBois, New York Rangers assistant general manager Jeff Gorton, Kings vice president of hockey operations and director of player personnel Michael Futa and former Capitals general manager George McPhee.
With the exception of McPhee, it appears the Leafs are going after people with a more ‘up-and-coming’ type vibe.
