Brad Treliving has been hired as the Maple Leafs' next general manager, the team announced Wednesday.
"Brad brings a wealth of knowledge from his years of experience as a general manager and hockey executive in Calgary, Arizona and beyond. He has earned tremendous respect amongst his peers throughout his years in the NHL and has built excellent relationships at all levels within the game," Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement.
Once Toronto severed ties with Dubas, Treliving's name was almost immediately attached as a possibility to replace him. The Leafs also interviewed formerGM Marc Bergevin for the role. But it was Treliving's experience and success in Calgary that appears to have put him over the top. Shanahan said after turning away from Dubas -- a first-time GM when he took over the post in 2018 for Toronto -- that a seasoned general manager would be"an attractive quality" in the team's next candidate.' next contract. Toronto's star center is eligible to sign an extension on July 1, when the final year of his current deal -- and a no-trade clause -- kicks in.
The Leafs are expected to hold a news conference welcoming Treliving to the organization on Thursday.
