The Toronto Maple Leafs swiftly concluded their GM hunt, finally zeroing in on their chosen candidate. Their pick is none other than the recently outgoing Flames GM, Brad Treliving.
Out of a shortlist consisting of a handful of potential candidates, Brad Treliving emerged triumphant, landing the coveted position.
Treliving, who formerly served as the Flames' GM, is now poised to handle the Maple Leafs' roster of upcoming UFA, with an ambition to keep the team in the playoffs - and maybe even out of the second round.
The Leafs, reeling from a brutal defeat in the second round to the Florida Panthers, are on the lookout for guidance and a strategic way forward. It is hoped that Treliving, in his new role as GM, will steer them towards these objectives.
