As part of his contractual obligation to the club, Hunter will not be able to work for another NHL franchise before next month’s entry draft, which will now be run in Toronto by GM Kyle Dubas.

Hired in October of 2014, Hunter presided over three amateur drafts in Toronto, starting with the selection of Mitch Marner at fourth overall in 2015.
