Maple Leafs clean house with firings

TheMaple Leafs fired general manager Dave Nonis, interim coach Peter Horachek and his staff after the team’s worst season in almost 20 years.

Nonis was dismissed Sunday with three years left on his contract. The Leafs went 30448 with 68 points, the fewest in an 82game season since 199697.

The Sabres fired coach Ted Nolan a day after their season ended with a second consecutive lastplace finish. Nolan had two years left on a contract he signed a little more than a year ago.

Jaromir Jagr and the Panthers agreed to a oneyear contract on the first day of the team’s offseason.

Jagr had six goals and 12 assists in 20 games with the Panthers after arriving in a trade with the Devils on Feb. 26. Jagr will receive a base salary of about $ 3.5 million next season, with the possibility of incentives.
