TSN: Leafs set to interview Treliving for GM role

[The Masters]

I think there's a pretty strict reporting structure in the corporate world. If Treliving tries to jump over Shanahan, they are going to question what's going on...it wouldn't look good on Treliving.

No I meant when Shanny's contract is up they could look at Treliving as his successor

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I threw up in my mouth a little bit

No I meant when Shanny's contract is up they could look at Treliving as his successor

Oh wait. Shanny made a mistake. Dubas needs to come back. He's the only GM that can sign, draft, and trade players!

Dubas' problem was not experience (at least in Shanahan's opinion).

 

[Martin Skoula]

How do you know it wasn’t the Calgary owner who hired Sutter ?

How do you know MLSE won’t hire some stupid coaching choice and Tre will just allow it to happen again?

Someone came up with a more extensive list of questionable contracts from Treliving.

Lol these make the Leafs contracts look amazing

 

[The Iceman]

My biggest concern with BT is that he hired Sutter and his drafting does not look great.

Sutter was Jack Adams award winner 2021-22

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

People were delighted to get rid of Dubas, there isn’t better available.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

The core should be pushing for this guy. He's going to be even better than Dubas during contract negotiations.

If there is 'a ton of interest in the job', then there should be more intriguing candidates than Treliving, no?

 

[Da Mash]

It won’t really matter who gets hired. The good GM’s are signed and they still have warts too.

A lot of fans wanted Dubas gone but it looks like whoever his replacement will be has as many or more warts then Dubas.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

I just want a GM that drafts well and had great people working for him. Big decisions on contracts or big trades will go thru shanny anyways.

One thing for sure….a lot of fans won’t be happy and opposing fans will be talking trash about whoever we hire.

To top it off….the Toronto media will fabricate stuff or have opinions that fans will think is gospel. They will stir the pot over and over again and players will leave because of the circus here.

 

[ShaneFalco]

I’m ok if it’s Treliving to be honest. He should be able to handle the mess that Dooby left.

And Pitts is going to go with a perennial loser
Clean slate when/if he comes here

 

[DarkKnight]

Until the league fixes the tax discrepancy between the US and CDN markets this will happen. Same goes for low tax states vs high tax states. The league is essentially a joke at the cap level so markets like CGY where these guys don't want to live lose players. I wouldn't want to stay in CGY or EDM when I could go south and take a few less bucks, still make more and have access to tons of perks.

Or Canada gIves athletes a tax break to make it competitive. I’m fine with that, given the economic contribution their presence would bring.

Calgary and Edmonton have to way overpay for guys to go there .. guys just don't want to live there long term unless your a prairie boy/skier .. winters are just too brutal and flying is a pain in da *ss from Alberta .. no one wants to hear it but it is way too isolated a place

Conroy admitted this in his press conference.

 

[ACC1224]

I don't. Usually it is the GM that hires the coach.

To be fair, similar excuses are used for the Leafs when signing players. Our excuses are usually high taxes and cold weather.

At some point da CAP has to get AXED .. da league is bush league .. it will never be best on best due to CAP .. maybe some of you guys like watching Cats vs Canes or Dallas vs Vegas but to most of us over 50 this is southern who cares .. espn reports 1st round playoffs Boston and NY tv markets were up 22% over 2022 .. but then 2nd round numbers dropped 15% below 2022 as Boston and NY tuned out and rumours are 3rd round is a disaster .. can you imagine cats vs vegas?????? maybe worst tv numbers ever recorded .. and this is ESPN folks a much better media

Yes Ontario taxes are worse than Alberta at high end of income scale .. as another poster mentioned until taxes are evened out across all states and provinces and countries in CBA then it will persist

Playoff series won for their most recent teams:

Treliving: 2
Dubas: 1

That kind of attitude needs to stay out of sports. If this is how people want to see things we might as well shrink the amount of teams in the league to only the markets that pull the best TV ratings and fan approval so people aren't complaining if a team like Florida makes it to the final by beating all the top teams in the league in 1 playoff run. Saw it a lot in the NBA this year with people complaining about a possible Heat vs Nuggets final just because they're mad LeBron won't make it and possibly the Celtics.

Where is he today ?? He works for a year, maybe two and then players get quit on him.

 

[leafers]

Sad of they go with Treliving. If he is the best option I would prefer Pridham

Sutter's forgotten more about hockey then most will ever know, but he's a hockey coach, not a child physiologist or a day care worker, I'm sure he's happy working the farm and not dealing with entitled diva's..............

If there is 'a ton of interest in the job', then there should be more intriguing candidates than Treliving, no?

The best GMs typically remain employed...unless someone wants this job enough to convince their current employer to let them go, the candidates may not be all that intriguing.
