The Toronto Maple Leafs hired Derek Clancey as assistant general manager of player personnel, the team announced Tuesday.
Clancey had served as assistant GM of the Canucks since December 2021, overseeing Vancouver's professional and amateur scouting staff.
The Pittsburgh Penguins hired Clancey as a pro scout in 2007, and he remained with the organization for 14 seasons, winning three Stanley Cup championships with the franchise (2009, 2016, 2017).
He was promoted to Pittsburgh's director of player personnel in 2019.
Clancey is the fifth assistant GM on the Maple Leafs' staff, joining Brandon Pridham, Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser (player development), Ryan Hardy (minor league operations), and Darryl Metcalf (hockey research and development).
Running the show is Brad Treliving, who replaced Kyle Dubas in late May following a nine-year stint with the Calgary Flames.
"We are excited to add Derek to our hockey operations department," Treliving said. "I feel Derek is one of the premier talent evaluators in our game. He is a three-time Stanley Cup champion and will play a big role as we continue our goal of building a championship team."
Treliving also brought in former NHLer Shane Doan as a special adviser to the GM in June.
Prior to joining the Canucks, Clancey served as a pro scout for the Flames to start the 2021-22 season while Treliving was GM.
