The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking for a new general manager after the team announced Friday that it had decided to part ways with Kyle Dubas.

Toronto won a playoff series this year for the first time in nearly two decades. The Maple Leafs eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning before losing to the underdog Florida Panthers in a disappointing second-round showing.

Dubas' contract was scheduled to expire June 30.

'I would like to thank Kyle for his unwavering dedication over these last nine seasons with the organization, including his last five as general manager,' Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement. 'Kyle fostered a great culture within our dressing room and staff, and consistently pushed to make our team better season over season.'

Shanahan was scheduled to address the media on Friday afternoon at Scotiabank
