The Pittsburgh Penguins future is unclear, but now, they've stolen a key piece of the Maple Leafs front office that will improve the quality of their drafts.

After drafting the elite core that has carried them to Stanley Cup glory three times, the Pittsburgh Penguins have struggled to land stars through the draft, but now that may all be about to change. On Tuesday, NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that Wes Clark, a key member of the Toronto Maple Leafs front office was officially leaving, hinting that a reunion with Kyle Dubas was in order.

Word today that Wes Clark, big decision-maker at Toronto's draft table the last few years, is exiting the organization.

We will see where he ends up, but all eyes on Pittsburgh.

Given how valuable he was, reportedly being the person behind selections such as Easton Cowan and Matthew Knies, the Penguins wasted no time in locking up Clark, announcing shortly after the report that he would become the new Vice President of Player Personnel.

The Penguins have named Wes Clark Vice President of Player Personnel.

Clark will oversee the club's amateur, professional and college/European free agent scouting departments and will report directly to Kyle Dubas.

Right now, the Penguins are in win now mode in what may be the final years of Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh, but once the off-season hits and this team looks to the draft and player development, expect to see major improvements in the organization.
