Brad Treliving is out as Maple Leafs GM after the worst season in a decade

The Toronto Maple Leafs season has been nothing short of a disaster between failing to meet expectations, injuries to Auston Matthews and other big stars, and failure to build a bright future the Maple Leafs are a mess.

Many have blamed Brad Treliving for the failings in Toronto after many of his recent trades and signings have backfired and blew up right in his face.

Even current Maple Leafs superstar seemed to take a subtle shot at Treliving and potentially even Berube earlier this week.

Now, Treliving will be paying the price for the Maple Leafs failure this season as he has been relieved of his duties by the organization.

According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman the Maple Leafs have decided to move on from Treliving effectively immediately.

The Maple Leafs later confirmed the news with a statement of their own thanking Treliving for his contributions while acknowledging the team cannot reach their goals with him at the helm.

Now, the Toronto Maple Leafs will search for a new GM in an offseason where they might not have their first-round pick or could also lose out on future first rounders as well.

Whoever takes over will be expected to turn things around quickly and without many assets to work with.

As more information is provided on the Maple Leafs search for a new General Manager, we will pass that news along to you.
