"Clancey, who worked with the Calgary Flames as a pro scout in the 2021-22 season"

When did he leave the Flames?

Did they just mess up the years in the opening statement or it was a partial season?

Regardless, happy he was not involved with those.

He was hired by Vancouver in December of 2021. I think someone is just going to elite prospects staff page and not doing actual research.

The Toronto Maple Leafs hired Derek Clancey as assistant general manager, player personnel, the team announced Tuesday. Here’s what you need to know:

• Clancey spent last season as an assistant GM with the Canucks, overseeing Vancouver’s pro and amateur scouting efforts.

• The 54-year-old also worked as a pro scout under Leafs GM Brad Treliving in 2021-22.


• Toronto now has five assistant general managers: Clancey, Brandon Pridham, Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser (player development), Ryan Hardy (minor league operations) and Darryl Metcalf (hockey research and development).

The Athletic’s instant analysis:

What Clancey brings to Toronto

This is just the latest step in Brad Treliving remaking the Leafs’ front office in his image.

First, the new Leafs GM brought in Shane Doan to help replace the former player dynamic that Jason Spezza brought before he left for Pittsburgh with the fired Kyle Dubas. Clancey brings a more prototypical, experienced front office dynamic to the Leafs, having served in a variety of roles (pro scout, director of pro scouting, director of player personnel, assistant GM) in the Penguins and Canucks’ front offices. He also worked for Treliving as a pro scout for a season in Calgary. — Siegel
 
Bureaucracy is expanding at an alarming rate.

In order to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy, the bureaucracy will need to be expanded.

The NHL's most bloated front office gobbles up one more. Clancey is another nepotistic hiring. Treliving is carrying on the age old hockey tradition of securing his position.

By hiring the same incompetent advisors that surrounded him at his previous team.

They already have so many coaches Malhotra is being press boxed. Now they have five assistant GM's. It's becoming a case of too many cooks in the kitchen.

As we saw with Dubas, these types of relationships almost always result in power struggles.

This isn't nuclear science. Hockey really isn't all that complicated. You don't need a team rivaling that of the Manhattan Project to figure it out.

Toronto's front office is a bureaucratic dystopia.
