Maple Leafs part ways with assistant GMs Brandon Pridham, Derek Clancey

TORONTO — More changes have been made to the Toronto Maple Leafs front office.

The team announced Sunday it has mutually agreed to part ways with assistant general manager Brandon Pridham.

Assistant general manager, player personnel Derek Clancey is also out of his post.

The changes are one of a few to be made since the team hired general manager John Chayka and senior executive adviser of hockey operations Mats Sundin.

Former head coach Craig Berube was also fired on Wednesday.

Toronto went from Atlantic Division champions in 2024-25 to last this season, a 30-point dropoff. However, the Leafs own the first overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft in June.
