Report: Uncertain future for Leafs' GM

National Hockey League players are not the only ones finding themselves waiting for a contract extension as training camps open. General managers do too, and this time around it is Toronto Maple Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello who did not receive an extension this summer, sources tell Sportsnet.

Lamoriello is on the last year of his original three-year deal he signed with Toronto in the summer of 2015 and his future with the team remains uncertain for now. Leafs president Brendan Shanahan was on “Prime Time Sports” earlier this week and declined to get into any specifics when asked about the future of his GM.

“I think if you know Lou and you know that I’ve probably learned a little something under Lou, that those are the kind of things we (don’t discuss),” Shanahan told host Bob McCown. “We focus on our job. We focus … on the job that we do that day and the rest of it usually takes care of itself. I know I’m going to get asked that question this year and I just want to be focused on the present as well.”

They will also need to focus on the future, seeing that next summer the GM will oversee contract extensions for Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander. 

Will it be Lamoriello?
