Lamoriello won't be replaced as Devils president

NEWARK, N.J. -- The New Jersey Devils won't look for a new president after Lou Lamoriello resigned from that position Thursday to become general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

"We don't really feel the need for a president, and we are very excited about our dialogue with [general manager] Ray [Shero] and moving forward," co-owner Josh Harris said.

Lamoriello, who turns 73 in October, was New Jersey president and general manager since 1987. He was replaced as GM in May when the Devils hired Shero. Lamoriello remained president until Thursday.
