Brad Treliving Named New General Manager of Toronto Maple Leafs
Former Flames GM Replaces Kyle Dubas
Treliving Brings Wealth of Experience to Maple Leafs Organization
Brad Treliving, the former general manager of the Calgary Flames, has been named the new general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The announcement was made on Wednesday, less than two weeks after the Leafs fired Kyle Dubas.
Treliving, 53, spent the last nine years as GM of the Flames. He led the team to the playoffs six times, including a run to the second round in 2019. Treliving also made several key acquisitions, including signing Johnny Gaudreau and Elias Lindholm to long-term contracts.
The Leafs are hoping that Treliving can bring the same success to Toronto that he did in Calgary. The team has not won a Stanley Cup since 1967, and they have not advanced past the first round of the playoffs since 2018.
Treliving is known as a shrewd negotiator and a good talent evaluator. He is also a respected figure in the hockey world. He is expected to make a number of changes to the Leafs roster this offseason, as the team looks to get back into contention for the Stanley Cup.
The hiring of Treliving is a sign that the Leafs are serious about winning. He is a proven winner, and he has the experience and the knowledge to help the Leafs reach their goals.
