ANAHEIM, Calif. — Brad Treliving, the Toronto Maple Leafs’ general manager, was dismissed deep into his third season at the helm, as the team is poised to miss the postseason for the first time in ten years.
Keith Pelley, president of Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, revealed the sudden shift Monday night, prior to Toronto’s game in Anaheim.
The implications of Treliving’s departure for the outlook of head coach Craig Berube remain uncertain.
With the Leafs nearing elimination from the postseason race, Pelley indicated the choice followed a thorough review, deeming it essential to pivot under fresh hockey guidance.
