Lindsay Hofford is currently the director of scouting for the London Knights in the Ontario Hockey League – otherwise known as the Hunter Team.
It’s not hard to draw a connection and there are plenty of openings within the scouting department for the Maple Leafs, if that’s what they may be interested in. We have to wonder if Dave Morrison’s job is still safe – or if he was kept around just for this draft – after nearly his entire staff was dismissed.
