Pre-draft trade talk 'heating up': Leafs' Shanahan

TORONTO - Brendan Shanahan does not believe the three-headed Maple Leafs general manager setup that currently exists will hurt the team when making pre-draft trades.

"It's not as complicated as it sounds," Shanahan said Monday, at A Night For Change, a charity event for the Canadian Safe School Network and the battle against homophobic bullying.

"Myself (and co-interim GMs) Mark Hunter and Kyle Dubas, we talk every day. If people want to talk to us, they know where to find us."

Hunter and Dubas, relatively new at their NHL jobs, made contacts with both their former OHL cronies and other NHL execs at the scouting combine in Buffalo last week.
