"Both the New Jersey Devils and Toronto Maple Leafs have asked and received permission from the Panthers to speak with assistant general manager Sunny Mehta, whose name has been all the rage of late, especially in the Toronto market."
"Pelley wants to win above all, and Mehta has been remarkably successful in every avenue of his career. His superior understanding of math and the salary cap has played a role in the Panthers' two-straight Stanley Cups."
The Toronto Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils have received permission to interview Sunny Mehta, assistant GM of the Florida Panthers. Mehta's analytics background aligns with the profiles sought by both teams. His connection to the Leafs has intensified, especially as they search for a replacement for Brad Treliving. MLSE CEO Keith Pelley emphasized the need for a data-centric GM, a description that fits Mehta. His unconventional background as a poker player and author, combined with his success in hockey, makes him a strong candidate.
