The Toronto Maple Leafs are parting ways with Assistant General Manager Brandon Pridham and Assistant General Manager of Player Personnel Derek Clancey, the team announced Sunday afternoon.

The move comes following last week’s removal of former Head Coach Craig Berube framed as “an organizational shift and an opportunity for a fresh start.”

In a statement, General Manager John Chayka said Pridham and the organization had “mutually agreed to part ways” after 12 seasons with the club.

“We are sincerely appreciative of Brandon’s professionalism, commitment and dedication to the Maple Leafs throughout his tenure,” he wrote.

“Derek also brought valuable experience and insight to our hockey operations department during his time with the club. We thank both Brandon and Derek for their contributions to the organization and wish them and their families all the very best moving forward.”
