Maple Leafs hire a second assistant GM, adding Laurence Gilman from NHL office
TORONTO — The Toronto Maple Leafs haven’t wasted any time filling their executive offices.
For the second time in as many days, the Leafs added an assistant general manager on Thursday, hiring Laurence Gilman from the National Hockey League’s head office. He has the same title as Brandon Pridham, who was promoted to assistant GM on Wednesday by first-year GM Kyle Dubas.
Earlier this week, senior adviser and former GM Lou Lamoriello left the organization to take the helm of the New York Islanders while assistant GM Mark Hunter and the Leafs mutually agreed to part ways.
Gilman, 53, has worked for the NHL since 2016 and helped create the rules for the Vegas Golden Knights expansion draft.
