BREAKING: Toronto Maple Leafs Part Ways With General Manager Brad Treliving

The Toronto Maple Leafs are making a massive change in their front office. On Monday, Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) officially announced the organization's decision to fire General Manager Brad Treliving after nearly three years at the helm.

MLSE Cites "Deep Analysis" in Decision to Change Leadership

The decision comes as the front office looks to re-evaluate its path to a championship. MLSE President & CEO Keith Pelley stated that the move follows a comprehensive review of the team's trajectory.

"Throughout the course of this season, there has been deep analysis into both the current state of the Maple Leafs organization and the direction needed to achieve the ultimate goal of delivering a Stanley Cup championship to the city," Pelley said in the official release.

While acknowledging Treliving's contributions, MLSE made it clear that a new vision is required.

"Brad Treliving is a man that we all have deep respect and appreciation for, both as a hockey executive and as a person, but it was determined that the club must chart a new course under different leadership," Pelley added. The organization thanked Treliving for his time and wished him the best moving forward.

Brad Treliving’s Record in Toronto

Named General Manager of the Maple Leafs in May 2023, Treliving leaves behind a decidedly winning regular-season record, though ultimately falling short of the franchise's ultimate postseason goals.

During his nearly three-year tenure, the club compiled a 139-92-27 regular-season record. In the playoffs, Treliving's Maple Leafs held a 10-10 record, which was highlighted by a first-round series victory over the provincial rival Ottawa Senators.

What's Next for the Maple Leafs?

With Treliving out, the spotlight now turns squarely to MLSE and Keith Pelley as they begin the hunt for the next General Manager. The incoming GM will be tasked with taking a talented core and finally turning regular-season success into a deep, Stanley Cup-winning playoff run.
