Sportsnet.ca -- Bobby Clarke says he's interested, while Doug Armstrong says he hasn't been called.

So it goes as the vacancy lingers in the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager's office.

Clarke, a former GM of the Philadelphia Flyers and now a senior VP with the team, told a Toronto radio station that he is intrigued by the opening in Toronto.

"I would talk to (interim Maple Leafs GM Cliff Fletcher)," Clarke told the Fan 590. "Don't know if I could do better job than him if he wanted to continue doing it. I would listen though."

Clarke said he is not seeking a GM's position in the NHL but if he did want another shot Toronto would be the market to do it in.

Armstrong, meanwhile, told the Fan that he has not been contacted by the Leafs about the GM's job, though his name continues to be bandied about as a candidate.

He was GM of the Stars from 2002 until November of last year, when he was fired and replaced by a tandem of Les Jackson and former Stars player Brett Hull. Armstrong had a 210-109-35-23 record as a GM and was the assistant GM when Dallas won the Stanley Cup in 1999.

The Leafs have been without a GM since January when John Ferguson Jr. was fired. Cliff Fletcher was hired as an interim GM and a search committee of Leafs president Richard Peddie and agent/lawyer Gord Kirke is compiling a list of candidates. Peddie said recently a new GM might not be named until later this summer.

Fletcher, however, did make a decision on a coach when he announced Wednesday that he had fired Paul Maurice. Maurice had been the Leafs coach the past two seasons, failing to make the playoffs in both.
