Earlier this offseason, the Penguins made a big move by hiring Wes Clark from the Toronto Maple Leafs. According to a report, they've now brought one of Clark's best scouts with him as they aim to build one of the top scouting departments in the Eastern Conference.
The Maple Leafs have not yet acknowledged Roque's departure, but it is a significant loss. Roque has been a long-time member of their scouting department, playing a crucial role in bringing in talented prospects like Easton Cowan, Nick Robertson, and Ben Danford. Now, he takes his expertise to Pittsburgh.
While Toronto has struggled in the playoffs, they've developed some very talented players. With the Penguins potentially preparing for life after Sidney Crosby, they're assembling a strong staff to ensure future success.
