The Toronto Maple Leafs lost a valuable member of its front office staff with Wes Clark reuniting with Kyle Dubas. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti look at the impact of Clark’s departure and the irony of him leaving to join up with Dubas. They look back at his drafts while in charge with the Leafs and how it compares to the approach the team had in the past. To end the show, Mike and Dave discuss if there were any potential internal candidates to replace Clark or if the team needs to consider an external hire for the process.

Clark gone is no big deal you guys don't know how it works the leafs have at least 20 scouts its a group effort Clark even named some that pushed to pick some players you know the other guys are the ones doing the ground work and watching games all ovef the world this is jus a small piece Clarke doesn't just say i want this guy and pick them as a ex scouting staff its way more then one guy and this isn't going to be a big deal
Scouting is not a big change because one guy gone they could go on without hire anyone and it would not make a difference a lot of scouts live in other countries its group decision who they pick not one guy plus the scouting staff has not found any gems in last 8 years after second round they have not found many nhl players at all.
Not a big loss. Relax.
The only real loss is Clark leaving with the Leafs' internal consideration of their prospects. I don't think given the Leafs prospect pool that this is a big issue.
Who cares! Not like we’ve gotten the best draft picks in years, or they would be scrambling to sign ufa to fill holes
Money? or work environment?
Truth be told…Spezza saw the writing on the wall and left before he was removed. As far as Clark is concerned, I'm actually surprised that the organization didn't replace him once dubas was gone. Nothing to see here folks…move on. There are plenty of talented scouts who can replace him.
