The Toronto Maple Leafs have a new GM and it’s impossible to have an opinion on him so far, because he hasn’t done anything. At worst, we can at least give the guy a chance.
One worry that some Toronto Maple Leafs fans may have about Brad Treliving is potentially shifting the Leafs back into “old hockey guy” territory.
In the NHL, almost every team follows the same playbook based on the same clichés, and there is hardly any difference between most team’s philosophies. In Toronto, Dubas was originally known as an “analytics” GM, but he didn’t really follow the principles of hockey analytics very strictly, especially this past season.
