With the Toronto Maple Leafs appointing Kyle Dubas as the team’s 17th GM, New York Islanders have set their sights on Hall of Fame builder Lou Lamoriello. But there’s another name in Toronto that the Isles should also take a look at; Mark Hunter.
Mark Hunter is currently an Assistant General Manager in Toronto. He started with the club in 2014 as their Director of Player Personnel. Essentially head scout. And Hunter is arguably the man responsible for the spot Toronto is in today.
Hunter’s pedigree is player evaluation and talent identification. He’s likely the reason the Toronto Maple Leafs took Mitch Marner fourth overall in 2015 over Noah Hanifin.
