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

[Jimmy Firecracker]

At least he’s not gonna make any rash trades because people in this market want revenge.

 

[The Masters]

finally speak to the team not core 4

build a fkin defense core now

 

[Woodman19]

I can see why Shanahan likes him, he is carrying himself very well and answers questions directly.

 

[francis246]

I like how he spoke about the team vs core four. Lets get rid of that core four narrative.

 

[Rob Brown]

I like how he spoke about the team vs core four. Lets get rid of that core four narrative.

Amen

 

[justashadowof]

First piece of nonsense: "this isn't about the core 4, it's about the 23 players." Well being that more than a third of the roster turns over every off-season, it is kind about the core 4.

 

[Gary Nylund]

In terms of personality, this guy is in that sweet spot somewhere between John Ferguson Jr. and Kyle Dubas.

All I can say is that I hope the best thing we have to say about him a couple of years from now isn't that he has a nice personality.

 

[The Best Leafs Everr]

Meh, bunch of bullshit so far

 

[tuckerintensity]

He's said more good things than I expected him to, so that's a positive.

Disagree, it's a hard cap league and everything is about where the money is spent. There are different expectations of those guys as there should be.

 

[SprDaVE]

These questions suck.

That was a good way of going around the question. Didn't tip his hand at keeping or trading, just that they are great players and there's a team to build.

 

[Rob Brown]

Meh, bunch of bullshit so far

Not really. Seems like some of you guys expected him to come out with a whiteboard and explain all the things he's going to do. It's an introductory press conference lol, it was obviously going to be a neutral PR event.

I view that as they are going to do what's best for the team and not necessarily just 4 players.

which I think you have to do ultimately. People on here are crazy, why would he come out and say, yeah lets move one of the guys. Immediately their value drops. I still think one of the core 4 is going to be moved, but they can't give that hand out immediately.

 

[AvroArrow]

Toronto media are such jackasses, why are they asking about Dubas and Pittsburgh ? This is Trelivings first presser as GM.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Treliving knows and likes Pridham. Sounds like he’ll lean on him like Dubas did and our expert capologist won’t be going anywhere. Whew.

 

[Rob Brown]

Lol love that joke about Pridham and Arizona

 

[LeafsFan89]

Brad seems pretty with it and confident.

 

[KeziaTML]

He's here, I'm not a fan but I need to give the guy a chance.

 

[justashadowof]

The Youtube chat for his presser is awful.

 

[Cleetus]

this is a man who carries himself very well, very well spoken, he sure sounds like he has a lot of respect amongst his colleagues around the league, happy with the hire.

 

[The Masters]

Sounds like he gonna fire Schkeefe

[Rob Brown]

Guy has some good jokes lol

 

[SprDaVE]

The 3 priorities he gave was Matthews (seemed to emphasize that one), the other contract issues and Keefe.
