What will the new Maple Leafs front office look like? Here's some candidates for GM and president

AI Briefing

• – Doug Armstrong's extensive NHL experience as GM of the Calgary Flames might make him a strong candidate for the Maple Leafs' top spot, but concerns about his fit with the team's culture and salary cap management could be a major hurdle.
• – Meghan Chayka's success as NHL GM of the Arizona Coyotes and her experience in building around young players could be a good fit for the Maple Leafs' rebuild, but her tenure in Arizona was marred by controversy and her ability to navigate the salary cap and make tough decisions will be key.
• – Both candidates would require significant changes to the team's culture and front office infrastructure, and it's unclear if they would be able to navigate the complex and often contentious world of NHL hockey operations.
