Maple Leafs’ draft czar Wes Clark departs for Pittsburgh

After running the Leafs’ draft (and announcing the Leafs’ 31st-overall pick of Ben Danford at the podium) in Vegas in late June, Clark took part in the Leafs’ most recent development camp through this past weekend before leaving the organization early this week.

Clark will serve as the Penguins’ Vice President of Player Personnel, overseeing their pro scouting as well as their amateur and college/European FA scouting. It’s a significant promotion, as he’ll be something of a right-hand man to Dubas now in Pittsburgh.

This was a long-speculated-about move since Dubas left for the Penguins, knowing the pair’s history together dating back to Sault Ste.
