The Toronto Maple Leafs announced changes to the club’s hockey operations organizational structure after the departure of John Lilley to the New York Rangers. Assistant Director of Player Personnel Wes Clark will replace Lilley as the club’s Director of Amateur Scouting. Clark has been with the Leafs since 2018 after serving as a scout with the Florida Panthers.
Former Florida Asst. GM Eric Joyce, who joined the Leafs organization in October of 2020 after being let go by the Panthers, will add the title of Director of Pro Scouting to his existing responsibilities as Director of Hockey Strategy.
