The Toronto Maple Leafs front office is shaking up, with whispers of a new general manager hire heating up fast.

The strong stands out with his deep track record handling tough rooms and high stakes, even leading Canada at the reason Olympics. Folks see him stepping in ready to lead, especially as St. Louis eyes its own shift.
