Toronto Maple Leafs Fire GM, Eyeing Stanley Cup

0:00It's March 31st. Welcome to NHL News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Toronto Maple Leafs just dropped a bombshell, firing General Manager Brad Triliving with only eight games left in their dismal season. Playoff hopes our toast, so the team is hitting reset early for a shot at bouncing back next year. Treleving took over nearly three seasons ago, posting a 139 win, 92 loss, 27 overtime loss record. That's a 0.59 percentage, with just one playoff series victory. He stepped in after Kyle Dubas left in May 2023 over contract issues. Fans lit up social media, not just leaf supporters, questioning if Dubas was ever the problem. Meanwhile, Dubas is driving his Pittsburgh Penguins GM in president, turning their squad around quick. Post called it poetic justice with Pittsburgh winning big the same night. At the trade deadline, eight points out, Toronto shipped out centers like Nicholas Roy and Scott Lafton, plus Winger, Bobby McMahon.

1:01They grabbed future picks, a 2027 first, second, and thirds and fourths in 2026. Now their second last in the Atlantic division. MLSC is hunting a new GM for the off season, with deep respect for Treleving, but eyes on a fresh path to the Stanley Cup. Coach Kred Barouba's future looks shaky too, setting up major changes ahead.
