"Mehta is currently an assistant GM with the Florida Panthers. Given the Panthers' recent string of championship seasons, it makes sense teams would want to kick the tires on the 47-year-old."
"Mehta is a data scientist and has been a pioneer in the analytics side of hockey. His profile is consistent with what Maple Leafs CEO Keith Pelley described as the 'data-driven' individual the organization seeks."
"Mehta has long track record in NHL analytics. His background in data science, along with his notorious success as a poker player, likely stems from his strong numerical and statistical training."
"Mehta then joined the Panthers in 2020, earning a promotion to assistant GM in 2023. That career progression highlights his growing influence in the NHL."
Sunny Mehta, currently an assistant GM with the Florida Panthers, is gaining attention for the President of Hockey Operations and GM roles with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils have requested permission to speak with him. Mehta's background as a data scientist and his success in NHL analytics make him a strong candidate. He has a history with the Arizona Coyotes and the Devils, and he joined the Panthers in 2020, becoming assistant GM in 2023.
