Mats Sundin sniffing around for an executive job with the Leafs. He has very few NHL executive qualifications. Not exactly a guy who knows what a winner looks like from the ice either considering he never won a Cup. Maybe they can find him something in the Swedish scouting department.
The Leafs need to resist the marketing PR type hires. It will make the pajama boys happy but reality is, the Leafs need to assemble a team of winners, not alumni losers. It’s the same reason why you wouldn’t hire Doug Gilmour to be a head coach. He tried it, wasn’t that great at it and hasn’t done it since. Your average idiot fan recognizes the name but it doesn’t mean he’s the best guy for the job to end the decades of embarrassment and futility.
