"On Sunday, the club announced that AGMs Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey will depart the organization."
"We currently have six assistant GMs. Is that the right structure? What is the right structure? It might come down after interviewing candidates and talking to people."
"Personally, I'm not a big analytics person. I look at a few things, but I don't use it in its entirety. I look at a few key factors when I'm looking at a player. I use that, compare it to how I think of a player and see if it correlates. The biggest fear is that I'm here and the analytics are in a totally different place, and you have to ask yourself: Why is it so different?"
"I think all the information is good. Everyone uses it differently. Some staff members might use it more than I use it. But at the end of the day, it's just about using all the information available to you. Maybe that's a generic answer, but that's the bottom line."
The Maple Leafs announced that AGMs Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey will depart the organization. The change is presented as consistent with how new general managers often replace members of the previous management group. The article notes that the Leafs had six assistant general managers and that the structure could change after interviews and discussions. It also references Derek Clancey’s views on analytics, describing a selective approach that compares key factors to personal player evaluation and investigates discrepancies between analytics and scouting judgments. The departures are framed as likely aligned with broader management restructuring and decision-making preferences.
