Brad Treliving is doing a great job.

[leafs in five]

lol so many people here are still pissed that we beat tampa

 

[notbias]

And they got badly outplayed in 5 of those 6 games in that series and got very lucky they won.

By that logic, half their series they were lucky they lost...

They've played better than their record has shown, but that is hockey.

 

[thusk]

It's game 19 after Treliving inherited a team that was good defensively and got good goaltending last year.

Treliving inherited of an average D and a suspect tandem of goaltenting... leafs goalie was as much suspect than last season when they started the season with Murray/Samsonov or the year before with Campbell and Mrazek

Treliving inherited a great team and situation, and had plenty of time, cap space, and available roster spots to make his mark on the team.
All he had to do was maintain what he was given. Instead, he made it worse with bad decisions.

I don't really care about what Pittsburgh does, but interestingly, Pittsburgh has improved their xGA/60 from last year by +0.09, while Toronto has dropped by -0.24.

you can have cap space and time, its whats you needing are not available, that will change absolutly nothing.

the team dubas gave

bunting (ufa)-matthews-marner
jarnkrok-jt-nylander
knies-oreilly(ufa)- acciaria( ufa)
kerfoot(ufa) kampf(ufa)-lafferty

rielly-Schenn (ufa)
mccabe-brodie
gio-holl ( ufa)

7 of 18 of starting player was UFA, 40% of the team

you added nothing good was available in D... its just a great thing he was not in desesperate mode and give a pretty trash 3 year deal to schenn or Holl .

so leafs had no real option/ tool to fix their #1 need ( a #2 D) , 44% of team was ufa so resulting of pratically half of your team didn't had chemistry together+ add every injuries in D who certainly didn't help at all with chemistry...

They really did, its funny how it works. Pretty much the exact opposite of their series losses over the last 3-4 years

So we’re comparing 7-8 other series to just 1 now?

He speaks?

Hopefully to announce Klingberg is done for the season.

I doubt they know that at this point.

 

[Stephen]

So we have a disadvantage to other teams in hot weather states, or even the US in general?

Why does this never get brought up about the disadvantage that Dubas had?

It is weird how many people are coming to the defense of Treliving... he got outperformed badly by Winnepeg, they are the least desirable place. Is Cheveldayoff that good? Is Yzerman super overrated because players love to play in Florida?

You can always ignore the thread by the way, it is very simple, complaining about a conversation isn't going to help much.

Remember when Calgary reporter Eric Francis told this market to brace for Auston Matthews maneuvering to leave in the summer, all Canadian cities have this issue. I think we can surmise Calgary and Toronto aren’t working with the same market constraints.

Maple Leafs' Treliving addresses Klingberg injury, trading for defence

Brad Treliving is watching the same games you are. The Maple Leafs' general manager sees the same things you do.

So Treliving said Klingberg injured himself against Florida, so we only saw three games of him "healthy". Also sounds like a surgery decision will be made this week.

Hopefully he decides to take the surgery route and hangs the gloves up for this season.

 

[GoonieFace]

They are also announcing the new “Klingburger” at Boston Pizza. It’s 2 juicy meatballs inside a fresh bun that falls apart on first touch

 

[usernamezrhardtodo]

Hopefully he decides to take the surgery route and hangs the gloves up for this season.

I can see him retiring if the rehab and prognosis are not great. He missed the boat on the long term deal when Dallas offered it and it's never going to come again. I doubt he wants to put himself through rehab to just get a $1-2m show me deal. Especially at his age.

He is too young to retire.

He’s 31. He’ll definitely come back with an NHL team on a 1 year deal. Someone will sign him, it just won’t be Toronto.

 

[Taylor Halls Teeth]

Klingburger will go on LTIR and the Leafs will trade for Tanev.

 

[Gallagbi]

What?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Klingburger will go on LTIR and the Leafs will trade for Tanev.

He is on LTIR. No trade yet though.

 

[mikeyz]

What?

You can’t get unlucky and lose in the 1st round 7 years in a row. But you can certainly get lucky and win a round 1 year.

That might be true, but you might have been good enough to win.

 

[darrylsittler27]

I'd give Brad an A minus for effort and a D for results. This team is toast and re running Keefe and the soft 4 is beyond stupid.Marner is losing value by the day and soon Mathews will be untradeable unless you eat salary.The problem is the people running the team are clearly idiots.

 

[Gallagbi]

Theres always reasons you win or lose a series. The series we lost, since Covid at least, are ones we carried the play in. The one we won, was the opposite.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Treliving inherited of an average D and a suspect tandem of goaltenting...

We ranked top-10 in both defensive results and goaltending last year.

you can have cap space and time, its whats you needing are not available, that will change absolutly nothing.

The individual claimed that Treliving was handed a hand grenade, when that is the furthest thing from the truth. He was handed one of the most ideal situations you could ask for. No GM is going to have all of the perfect solutions available to them in any given offseason, but Treliving had much, much better options available to him for the secondary pieces he had to replace than what he ended up doing, and he seemed to have no understanding of how replacing a bunch of good defensive players and PKers with a collection of the worst defensive players in the league would negatively affect us.
