"The Toronto Maple Leafs have now entered the chat... The Leafs fired general manager Brad Treliving on Monday. He didn't make it three full calendar years in the job, and had one year remaining on his contract."
"The Leafs traded their first-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft to Boston (with Fraser Minten) for Brandon Carlo before the trade deadline last year, but the pick carries top-five protection."
"They're in the process of potentially tanking hard enough to slide into a top-five pick in this year's NHL draft, which would keep the pick in their possession."
"There has already been speculation that the Leafs might target outgoing Blues general manager Doug Armstrong."
NHL teams typically avoid making changes close to the end of the regular season, but the Vegas Golden Knights fired head coach Bruce Cassidy. The Toronto Maple Leafs followed suit by firing general manager Brad Treliving, who had not completed three years in the role. The Leafs traded their 2026 first-round pick to Boston for Brandon Carlo, but the trade's value has diminished. Speculation suggests the Leafs may pursue outgoing Blues general manager Doug Armstrong.
