As the Toronto Maple Leafs continue their search for a new General Manager, speculation is swirling about the top contenders for the role. A recent report suggests that the team has not asked for permission to speak with potential candidates, sparking questions about the timing and priorities of the search. One name that has been mentioned as a serious contender is Doug Armstrong, the current General Manager of the St. Louis Blues, who has a proven track record of success in the NHL. However, with the Blues still in the midst of a playoff push, it's unclear whether Armstrong would be willing to leave his current post, and whether the Leafs would be willing to wait until the offseason to make a move.
