The Anaheim Ducks filled out their coaching staff on Tuesday with the hiring of Paul MacLean, now they’re looking to add to the their front office.

According to hockey insider Darren Dreger, the Toronto Maple Leafs have granted the Ducks permission to hire Dave Nonis as an advisor.

Nonis was fired by the Leafs along with interim head coach Peter Horachek on April 12.

The 49-year-old joined the organization as the club’s senior vice-president and director of hockey operations in December 2008. When Brian Burke was fired in January 2013, Nonis was promoted to the GM’s role.

Under Nonis’ leadership the Leafs qualified for the playoffs once in three seasons.

Nonis previously held the title of senior advisor of hockey operations with the Anaheim Ducks from June to December of 2008.

Current Ducks GM Bob Murray and Nonis have worked together previously with the Ducks and the Vancouver Canucks.

Nonis was first linked to Anaheim last month by the Vancouver Sun.
