If Lou Lamoriello wants David Conte to come work for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Conte said he would consider it.
"I'd be lying if I said it didn't cross my mind," Conte told the Toronto Sun in remarks published Saturday. "... I'm interested in working. I still have to take stock (of my life). I'm not used to having time off. I've done this a long time."
Conte worked for Lamoriello for all of Lamoriello's 28 years as general manager of the New Jersey Devils, the last 22 as director of scouting.
Ray Shero was hired to replace Lamoriello as Devils GM on May 4, and the Devils on July 9 said they would not be renewing Conte's contract.
