Overview
- The Maple Leafs, who dismissed Brad Treliving on Monday hours before playing in Anaheim, said a deep organizational review led to the move.
- No successor was named, and multiple reporters say a formal GM search begins right away, with MLSE chief Keith Pelley scheduled to brief media Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.
- Toronto slid to 31-30-13 entering Monday’s game and sits well outside a playoff spot after injuries and inconsistency, including Auston Matthews’ season-ending knee surgery in March.
- Coach Craig Berube’s longer-term status is uncertain, and TSN’s Darren Dreger reports he has received no assurances beyond this season as he continues behind the bench.
- Treliving’s tenure is under scrutiny for major bets that didn’t pay off, including a Mitch Marner sign-and-trade to Vegas and the Brandon Carlo deal that cost prospect Fraser Minten and conditional draft picks.
