The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Wednesday that they have hired Brad Treliving to become the next general manager.
This comes after weeks of speculation since the Toronto Maple Leafs parted ways with Kyle Dubas. Treliving appeared to be the top candidate from the start.
On the surface, it looks like an ideal candidate. He fits the bill to a tee of an experienced guy, which Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said would be an asset.
He also has experience in a Canadian market, possibly giving him an edge over other candidates.
Treliving spent nine seasons at the helm in Calgary.
