Brackett comes in as assistant GM, while Hamilton moves into the chief of staff role, a setup that usually means the Leafs are tightening lines between hockey ops and the day-to-day machine. Around this time of year, every front office move is about leverage, timing, and who gets to whisper in the GM’s ear.
