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

[SI90]

Bro this is a Leafs board; I'd allow your posts if you take Tavares back though

Sure. 50% retained. He has to play LW, can’t wear 91, can’t speak to media, and Bailey has to go the other way!

you know what thrown in a 1st rounder and you got a deal. Bailey is done in a year, if we are going to eat 2 years of Tavares at 50% gotta sweeten the pot. And I;ll allow NYI fan to post on the leafs board

 

[SI90]

Throw in a couple 1st rounders and u got a deal

Yeah but can the leafs really afford to give up a couple of first rounders?

Overall, the message seems to be 'the failure is not on the stars but the bargain basement filler that they've been surrounded with.'

In that interview, I really liked that he said he wants his team to be the aggressor and not being reactive. That's been this team's problem is not starting on time or getting bullied early and having to come back. I still view the core as part of the problem in that as they lack heart. We'll have to see how that's going to change.

Brad seems like a very likeable guy. Seems very aware, articulate and knows how to work the room. Good sense of humor.

His drafting is very hit and miss but his hits are pretty significant. As long as we keep our scouting staff(which it sounds like we are), I have faith as they've done a good job identifying skill. His trade history is pretty solid. Only thing I'm worried about is signings. He has a long list of bad signings and I hope he's learned from it.

Wasn't thrilled nor angry about this hire but I'll be happy to be wrong if he delivers success!

I'm getting a side of "not coached well enough" from it.

 

[Racer88]

40% of Calgary's cap was spent on 5 forwards. 304 points.

Leafs core 4 = 351 points, by the way.

Ok so that still leaves them 8 million Plus the extra forward to spend on improvement.
how much did they spend in their top 4 paid forwards in the interest in fair comparison

Just found video of Treliving informing the Flames he wouldn't be returning.

I've seen a lot of people mention the good working relationship between Treliving and Matthews' agent Judd Moldevar, and how that should bode well for Matthews' extension talks.

I wonder why no one asked Treliving at his press conference about the working relationship between him and Nylander's agent Lewis Gross (also Johnny Gaudreau and Acciari's agent)?

Nobody has a good relationship with Lewis Gross [also Sandin's agent]

 

[Menzinger]

I like what i heard here. This is his view on the game

This is exactly what we need to be better in playoffs

"Different isn't necessarily better" when it comes to trades

Some interesting stuff to say the least in this clip. Don't disagree with much of what he says which is nice lol

 

[Mobiandi]

Sorry if it was already mentioned here - did anyone else find it weird that when he asked about the relationship with Brodie and Gio he never mentioned Brodie by name. He kept referring to them as "both" or just said Gio.

That’s because Brodie does not like him for having been offered to Toronto in a trade without having been consulted

It’s a non mandate change GM hire. That’s a good first step.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

I'm hoping Treliving is just keeping things tight-lipped when it comes to the core four. The guy would be a fool if he tries to pass off "running it back" as a solution next season.

 

[rocketman588]

Seemed pretty likable

Definitely just seemed experienced which he is.

Seems to be the type to tell shit to your face and to the media himself instead of hiding behind leaks like Dubas

Was a bleh hire at first imo but excited to see what he can do

 

[PromisedLand]

Just catching up on the all the hockey news/videos after work.

Hilarious ribbing of Hayes and some insight by Tre that he didn't get into much at the presser. Starts at 28:18

 

[rocketman588]

I wonder what the first big move will be

 

[The Masters]

I wonder what the first big move will be

he will fire shanny lol

 

[al secord]

Seems like Pittsburgh got their guy and Toronto got their plan C.

 

[justashadowof]

This Al Bundy sh** is classic subversion tactics to gently undermine the new GM. I'll give you credit. There's plausible deniability of "it's only a joke". Plus others join in wanting to be in on the joke. It's a great tactic to un-cool a band or a movie.

 

[Thornbury]

Seems like Pittsburgh got their guy and Toronto got their plan C.

Don't think I agree with that. Shanahan was clearly unimpressed with Dubas not committing to continue as Leafs GM at that end of season presser. When he decided to move on, Treliving seemed like a totally viable replacement. We'll see how it turns out, but as others have expressed, I am enthused about seeing what our new GM can accomplish over the next month.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I can't wait until we play against PIT next season. Dubas is going down.

 

[Buds17]

Seems like Pittsburgh got their guy and Toronto got their plan C.

Who was Toronto's Plan B?

I'm actually not entirely convinced of Toronto and Dubas having been the Plan A for each side respectively either throughout the process.

 

[The Masters]

I'm actually not entirely convinced of Toronto and Dubas having been the Plan A for each side respectively either throughout the process.

he clearly had pitts in his back pocket months ago. He has connection with beeston already. Pitts going thouugh a deep process and then putting it on hold for dubas and flying him out the very next day shanny fired him is a clear indication that this was all in the works.

Dubas asked for $$ money and more leverage bc if he didnt get it in toronto he got it in pitts

guy is a fkin turd to use the family card and cry like a sissy on stage.

just be a man and say i cant handle the gig and i want to leave

goof

 

[Budz]

I think Kyle handled some of it badly, he’s a young guy. Maybe needs to mature.

Shanny is a joke though.

I’d rather have Dubas running my hockey ops over Shanny. I think Shanny brings very little to the table.

 

[Wrong Wilson]

he will fire shanny lol

He has a direct line to Tanenbaum, so this is not impossible.
