Assistant general manager Mark Hunter, who had been with the Maple Leafs' managerial staff since October 2014, has mutually parted ways with the team. Hunter, 55, had previously been the owner, vice-president, and general manager of the London Knights in the OHL for 12 years.

"Following extensive discussions with Mark, he and the Toronto Maple Leafs have mutually agreed to part ways," said Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan. "I'd like to sincerely thank Mark for everything he's done for this organization over the last four years and I wish him nothing but the best in the future."
