Leafs' new GM and senior executive give first news conference | CBC News
"Mats Sundin, the first European selected No. 1 overall in the NHL draft, played 18 seasons and is the only Swede to score 500 goals in the NHL."
"Sundin remains the Maple Leafs' all-time leader in points with 987 and game-winning goals with 79, and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012."
"John Chayka became the NHL's youngest GM at age 26 with the Arizona Coyotes and has a background in analytics, having built a data company for player evaluation."
"Chayka resigned from the Coyotes in July 2020 and has not worked in the NHL since, marking a significant shift in his career trajectory."
Mats Sundin has been named the new senior executive adviser of hockey operations for the Maple Leafs, while John Chayka will serve as general manager. These appointments follow a disappointing season where the team missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Sundin, a franchise legend, is the all-time leader in points and game-winning goals for the Maple Leafs. Chayka, previously the youngest GM in NHL history, resigned from the Arizona Coyotes in 2020 and has not held an NHL position since.
