The Toronto Maple Leafs have had a truly awful summer.
Things kicked off poorly when Kyle Dubas lost his power struggle and went to Pittsburgh, and they only got worse from there for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Instead of a proactive search (or doing the smart thing and promoting Brandon Pridham) Shannahan went with Brad Treliving, a generic hockey-guy whose resume more or less stinks.
Treliving came in and before taking care of any business – like signing his two pending free-agent superstars, or clearly salary – spent $18 million dollars on uneeded free-agents.
