Confirmed with Link: Brad Treliving named new GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs

[ITM]

So you think Treliving was 1 of the few GM’s interviewed who objected?

I think the “if any” is the accurate side of the duplicitous speculation being quoted. Can’t see Treliving objecting to an open process and one in which the GM is given the means to fire/hire.

 

[aingefan]

“Underwhelmed”. I’ve heard that from a few girls before. It’s a word. Just saying.

Sloan references are never bad.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Trade matthews ASAP

2027-2028 is our time to contend

This is the puppet GM we needed

Burn the dubas/shanny/lou era away

If he gets the slightest whiff of Matthews not wanting to sign this summer, he should absolutely trade away the entire core and stock up on 1st round picks/blue chip prospects.

 

[Albz]

1 good thing is Trev won't be buddy buds with these guys lol

 

[Shooter2x]

The hard work is already done. We have our core forwards / core assets to build a contender foundation.


All he has to do is turn dubas' vanilla supporting cast into something respectable. It's not that serious.

 

[ITM]

I wouldn’t so sure. Shanahan is clearly a moron. He actually wanted to bring that turd Dubas back, that tells me all we need to know.

With new information Shanahan came to a new conclusion and did the right thing. That’s not the mark of a moron.

Then cup next year I am assuming since it is simple. Love it, so excited.

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Shitting on everything already....downer man

I'm becoming more and more convinced that is Granny Dubas' burner account.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Sign Monahan + Lucic
Trade Nylander + Samsonov (rfa) + 1st For Toffoli + Hanifin + Markstrom


Let's roll! Lol

Jarnkrok-Matthews-Marner
Knies-Tavares-Toffoli
Robertson-Monahan-Acciari
Lucic-Kampf-Lafferty

Rielly-Hanifin
McCabe-Liljgren
Giordano-Timmins

Markstrom
Woll

 

[57 Years No Cup]

truly a disastrous situation. 110+ point team, 1st rounder this year, team full of guys SOFT PLAYOFF LOSERS who like playing for this team. Clearly it will take a miracle, hopefully brad is up to the task

Edited for accuracy.

yes, it's a better situation to have Auston Matthews want to stay then to have him wanting a trade, that should be obvious

Why?

 

[3blizzard4]

With no word on Keefe I fear he might be back on “let’s see how you do” year.

Basically wasting a year if he doesn’t do well or Tre doesn’t like what he sees.

That’s my worry too

 

[myleafs]

Yep. No way you do better for the dollar than Nylander right now.

And if he wants 10 on his next contract?

Pierre LeBrun on the most important steps for Treliving, whether the Matthews deal with be "smooth sailing & whether the Penguins roster holds up - TSN.ca

TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun joined the OverDrive crew earlier today and got into a number of things including the most important steps for Brad Treliving, whether the Auston Matthews deal will come together smoothly and why he isn't a huge fan of the Penguins situation for Kyle Dubas.

Don’t take this as a Keefe endorsement, but maybe Keefe had ideas that Dubas didn’t want him to implement, it’s a long shot yet still a possibility. If BT wants to start the season with Keefe, I’m okay with that, not interested in winning a president’s trophy, just make the playoffs and do something then………

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Matthews (8 x 8) + (6 x 8) Boston Pizza endorsement

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Sign Monahan + Lucic
Trade Nylander + Samsonov (rfa) + 1st For Toffoli + Hanifin + Markstrom


Let's roll! Lol

Jarnkrok-Matthews-Marner
Knies-Tavares-Toffoli

That trade is gross. Don’t mind the signings.

 

[rumman]

Matthews (8 x 8) + (6 x 8) Boston Pizza endorsement

Good thinking outside the box……..

 

[BertCorbeau]

Given how recent ex Leafs seem to take a step forward when they leave to their next team in the playoffs, you have to expect that when moving one of the big 3…

Kadri, Hyman, Kessel for example.

 

[GoonieFace]

With new information Shanahan came to a new conclusion and did the right thing. That’s not the mark of a moron.

Fact is he shouldn’t have needed that “new” information to can Dubas. All the evidence was already there

 

[The Masters]

Matthews going to re-sign for 7 x 13

 

[Face Of Bear]

This guy literally destroyed the Flames in a summer. What on earth is shanny thinking?

 

[57 Years No Cup]

Yep. No way you do better for the dollar than Nylander right now.

I agree, however the key is "right now". If Willie's looking for any more than $8 million then it's hasta la vista Baby!

 

[Leaf Fans]

Shitting on everything already....downer man

Yeah, it is like a repeat of Dubas being hired.

 

[Dayjobdave]

I am happy that they have made a decision, and I am hopeful that this works out.
