"Treliving turned the Flames on their head before heading to Toronto, and essentially set the franchise back a decade. The Matthew Tkachuk trade didn't work out and now Calgary is stuck with a declining, extremely expensive Jonathan Huberdeau."
"Early on, Treliving acquired defenceman Travis Hamonic for three draft picks, one of which turned out to be Noah Dobson. He's also the same GM who gave up on Sam Bennett."
"The Sean Monahan 'salary dump' trade to the Montreal Canadiens, which also included Treliving sending a first-round pick to Montreal for future considerations, turned out poorly as Monahan still had plenty of game left."
"Shanahan felt the respect Treliving had in the game was going to help, especially in trade and contract negotiations, but ultimately, both are no longer with the organization."
Brad Treliving was fired as general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs after less than three years due to a series of poor decisions. His previous tenure with the Calgary Flames was marked by questionable trades and acquisitions, including the failed Matthew Tkachuk trade and the mismanagement of players like Sam Bennett and Sean Monahan. Despite initial support from the Maple Leafs' management, Treliving's inability to capitalize on the team's Stanley Cup window ultimately led to his dismissal, reflecting a significant misjudgment in hiring him.
