The fallout from the Toronto Maple Leafs鈥� front office reshuffle continues.

In the wake of Kyle Dubas鈥� elevation to general manager earlier this month, Mark Hunter and Lou Lamoriello are both out.

Toronto announced Tuesday that Hunter and the club had mutually agreed to part ways. That follows news that Leafs senior adviser Lou Lamoriello, Toronto鈥檚 GM the last three seasons, is expected to take the helm of the New York Islanders.

鈥淔ollowing extensive discussions with Mark, he and the Toronto Maple Leafs have mutually agreed to part ways,鈥� Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement. 鈥淚鈥檇 like to sincerely thank Mark for everything he鈥檚 done for this organization over the last four years and I wish him nothing but the best in the future.鈥�

The statement had no mention of Lamoriello. But The Associated Press, citing a source, reported Lamoriello鈥檚 deal to join the Islanders will likely be completed this week.

Hunter, 55, was seen as a candidate for the GM job. The fact that Lamoriello appears headed to run another organization suggests the 75-year-old was not ready with make do with a senior adviser role.

Hunter joined the Leafs as player-personnel director in October 2014 before being elevated to assistant general manager in August 2016 鈥� sharing the role with Dubas.

At the time Lamoriello said the change in title was essentially 鈥渁 formality as these are duties he鈥檚 already been performing.鈥�

Hunter was in charge of Toronto鈥檚 pro scouting, amateur scouting and player evaluation departments. Dubas was GM of the American Hockey League鈥檚 Toronto Marlies, overseeing all prospects within the club鈥檚 system while also leading the Leafs鈥� player development, hockey research and development departments.

Hunter came to the Leafs in 2014 after helping build the OHL鈥檚 London Knights. As such, he had a relationship with Toronto centre Nazem Kadri and is credited with helping elevate the young centre鈥檚 game.

As a player, Hunter saw action in more than 600 NHL games with the Montreal Canadiens, St. Louis Blues, Calgary Flames, Hartford Whalers and Washington Capitals.

Lamoriello was the New Jersey Devils鈥� GM and president of hockey operations from 1987 to 2015, during which the team reached the Stanley Cup final five times and won the title in 1995, 2000 and 2003. His son, Chris, has been assistant GM with the Islanders since 2016.
