Per a new statement from NHL analyst Elliott Friedman, there is a good chance that the Toronto Maple Leafs could be making major changes during the summer.
Last summer, the Toronto Maple Leafs made one of the biggest organizational moves since 2018 when they signed John Tavares, who was the biggest UFA fish available on the open market.
They traded longtime homegrown forward Mitch Marner to the Vegas Golden Knights, officially signaling the end of an era of Maple Leafs hockey.
And now, per NHL analyst Elliotte Friedman, there could be more "major" changes coming up from general manager Brad Treliving.

The Maple Leafs already moved on from one major core piece in Mitch Marner over the summer. What are the chances that a player like William Nylander or perhaps even current captain Auston Matthews could be considered for a trade, which would represent as big or perhaps even more of a major shakeup?
The Maple Leafs Will Miss The Playoffs For The First Time Since 2016
Even though it's not official and they're technically not mathematically eliminated yet, the Maple Leafs are going to miss the playoffs.
It will be for the first time since they won the Draft Lottery in 2016 and took Matthews with the first overall pick.
Since then, the Maple Leafs have made the playoffs every year, and only managed to win two total series - one over the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2023, and one over the Ottawa Senators last spring.
