Neil Smith to GM Maple Leafs?

Eklund at HockeyBuzz reports...

"I talked to a source today who told me that he believes that Neil Smith will be getting serious consideration in Toronto and, "Neil Smith is the most qualified person for the Leafs GM position. period." Another source called Neil, "the slight favorite" in his eyes...

The fact that Neil is the most Qualified is very hard to dispute. Neil was born in Toronto, is media wise of course, has won a Stanley Cup in the last major city where they chanted a date (1940 not 1967)and in NY pulled off the major deal to get Mark Messier and the rest as they say us history. Neil deserves major consideration."

...hey Eklund you forgot to mention Smith's cup of tea with the Islanders this year.
