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

[ShaneFalco]

Based on this being a public board and people have different opinions.

It's amazing how many blindly follow Dubas. Mitch too. Above the team to some

 

[Kurtz]

Well, he'll make us tougher, that's for sure. Lucic and Perry is a real possibility.

 

[Future]

Well, he'll make us tougher, that's for sure. Lucic and Perry is a real possibility.

Would rather Zadorov.

 

[Trapper]

Treliving loses one fo the core to free agency, trades on the young players for two overrated players, signs them to insane contracts and then they miss the playoffs. That could also happen.

That’s Calgary, not Toronto. Players said they didn’t want to be there. The players have said they want to be here. Different story.

 

[LaPlante94]

We're going from full data to data-curious

Well in Calgary the team didn't invest in analytics and player development like us so to people who think he's against all that is just wrong. He wanted it in Calgary but ownership wouldn't put it in the budget.

 

[Mess]

Treliving draft record from 2014 to 2016 included Matthew Tkachuk and Sam Bennett both playing for the Stanley Cup and well as Norris Dman Adam Fox.

 

[SprDaVE]

Kadri until 38/39 and putting up 56 pts in year one? Oof. 6 more years.

7M cap hit. He'll bounce back, same for Markstorm. That whole team stunk.

 

[Bomber0104]

UFA til 38 with a NMC

So one is signed through their prime, the other is not.

Or are you now making a case that the Tavares signing is good?

Did Tavares score 115 points in a season prior to his UFA deal?

Again, you're struggling with very basic facts.

 

[Gallagbi]

Meh

 

[Menzinger]

It's definitely a bit underwhelming that Shanahan didn't seem to undergo a particularly extensive search. Felt more like the name was picked before a search even started. Trevling was the only one actually invited to Toronto - the others seemed like courtesy chats over zoom/the phone.

What's done is done though. Hope for the best that Treliving can hit the ground running

No?

Again, you're struggling with very basic facts.

Ah yes, 1 year of amazing work, pay the man.

 

[Nooodles]

Hopefully ownership can f*** off now that they got their friends son as the GM

Like I said Treviling seems more role driven, not the go-to decision maker. He’ll have input but Shanny probably has a lot of oversight on roster decisions, especially this off season..

Trevilling also has more support with guys like Pridham and other resources like player development.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Aintnoway people are defending some of those contracts in Calgary lol. Going to be a long few years, the entire dubas hater regime will just twist and move the goal posts to make it seem like treliving can do no wrong. It's already started and he hasn't even been officially hired yet lol. This is literally a lateral move at best, I haven't seen a single post of why treliving was a better gm vs. Dubas yet, other than posting a draft from 8 years ago. Usually when you make big moves like this, you upgrade a position not make it a sideways change at best.

 

[Bellefour20]

That’s Calgary, not Toronto. Players said they didn’t want to be there. The players have said they want to be here. Different story.

And yet no hometown discounts, with the exception of maybe JT.

 

[daethfromabove1979]

I like his draft record, he’s actually hit on some last round picks. Dubas was an awful drafter besides Knies, so many wasted picks over the years.

 

[ACC1224]

It’s funny seeing those with the blind love for Dubas now with the blind hatred for his replacement.
Predictable but funny none the less.

 

[Gallagbi]

7M cap hit. He'll bounce back, same for Markstorm. That whole team stunk.

That was his bounce back. Hes always been a mid 50s pt center. Theres a lot of value in that, im just not sure its a top 6 role at 7M/yr into his late 30s

 

[DarkKnight]

There goes my vivid dream of a triumphant Dave Nonis returning to bring Lord Stanley home. Oh well.

Hmmmmm why not add more draft years? Maybe a motive? Seems like a weird cut-off.

Compare Treliving vs Dubas, 2018+ maybe?

26GP for Calgary (Pelletier has 24)
386GP for Toronto

 

[Bomber0104]

Ah yes, 1 year of amazing work, pay the man.

Tavares, Marner, Matthews, and Nylander never did that prior to their contracts, also never exceeded it, and they got put on a much better pay scale by Dubas...

Again, just facts...

You obviously like bloated contracts and underperformance being a Dubas fan.

Surprising you don't give a ringing endorsement to a contract like Huberdeau's

Of course its a lateral move

We moved a middle of the pack GM who didnt want to be here for one who wants to be here

Top tier GMs dont come to Toronto. This team is straight ass (ownership, the coaches, the players) and has way to much pressure for any top tier GM to want to come here

 

[Eye Test]

If we win the cup next year, does Dubas get a complimentary ring?

If he can negotiate for it

I'm not anti- Dregs or anything, but I do take all these "insiders" with a grain of salt. Except Bobby Mac, him I'd have believed straight up. Too much room in the statement for, something moved the needle late Wednesday, stay tuned. I'm sure it's accurate that Treliving is a leading candidate, but reserving judgement until further notice.

 

[Azail]

No issues with any of those contracts other than Huberdeau.

Weeger you could probably convince me is OK. But Huberdeau like you pointed out is horrible, unless he converts to a 90+ point winger, which he has done twice in his career. And even then, it's not a 'good' contract.

Kadri is a 50-60pt player, and is signed until he is 38 at 7mil. I wouldn't say that is an ideal contract.
