Panthers Lose Another Staff Member To Sunny Mehta And The Devils

Former Florida Panthers assistant GM and current New Jersey Devils GM Sunny Mehta continues to nab Panthers staff members, as Leo Luongo has signed with the Devils.

Luongo, the brother of Roberto Luongo, has been with the Panthers for the past 10 seasons, serving as a goaltending development coach and director of player development with the Panthers, while also serving as the director of goaltending and the head of goalie development and scouting with the Charlotte Checkers, the Panthers’ AHL affiliate.

Now, Luongo is joining Mehta with the Devils as the director of goaltending. Luongo will manage the development and scouting of goaltenders throughout the organization while reporting to executive vice president of hockey operations Martin Brodeur.

In addition to Luongo, the Devils have added Ted Granto and A.J. MacLean as assistant coaches to work under coach Sheldon Keefe, while Dan Stewart will work as the Devils’ goaltending coach.

The Panthers have now witnessed Mehta, Luongo, and Braden Birch exit the organization to join the Devils this off-season. The Panthers have also watched Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist join the Devils via a trade.
