The Toronto Maple Leafs have left little doubt in the minds of their fanbase that this organization has no clue what they are doing with the hiring of Matts Sundin (Senior Executive Advisor of Hocky Operations ) & (General Manager) John Chayka.
On May 3, 2026, Chayka was hired as the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. At the time of his hiring, Chayka was once again the youngest general manager in the NHL. Chayka and his wife Kathryn, through their company JKC Restaurants, own 50 Wendys and 5 Tim Hortons franchises. On January 25, 2021, Chayka was suspended from working in the NHL for the remainder of the 2021 calendar year. League Commissioner Gary Bettman cited "conduct detrimental to the league and game", and further ruled that Chayka had "breached his obligation to the club" by pursuing opportunities with other clubs while still under contract with the Arizona Coyotes, and then terminating his contract with three years remaining.
Sounds like the Leafs have landed another real prize for GM.
The Leafs organization continues to play silly games and win stupid prizes.
And the Toronto Maple Leafs are more valuable than ANY team in the NHL
Valued at $4.4 billion
$340 Million in revenue last season.
Last championship win was 1967.
And fans will continue to fill the building every Saturday night. Unreal..
