Overview
- The team announced Sunday it mutually parted ways with assistant general managers Brandon Pridham and Derek Clancey.
- GM John Chayka issued a statement thanking both executives and noted Pridham’s 12 seasons of service.
- Pridham, hired in 2014, was the club’s lead salary-cap strategist and recently served as co-interim GM with Ryan Hardy.
- Clancey joined in 2023 as assistant GM of player personnel after stints with the Penguins, Flames and Canucks.
- The changes extend a broader retool under Chayka and senior advisor Mats Sundin, and Pridham’s exit leaves a gap in cap management as Toronto conducts a coaching search and prepares to use the No. 1 draft pick.
