Toronto Maple Leafs Fire GM, Seek Stanley Cup

0:00On March 31st, Toronto Maple Leafs just fired their general manager Brad Triliving on Monday. The 56-year-old was in his third season after taking over from Kyle Dubas on May 31st, 2023. The team made the call to shake things up and chase that elusive Stanley Cup. This season, the Leafs sit at 31 wins, 30 losses and 13 overtime losses, good for 7th in the Atlantic Division and 14th. Last year, they topped the division with 108 points but bowed out in the second round to Florida after beating Ottawa. His first year, they grabbed third but fell to Boston in seven games. Keith Pelley, the president and CEO, praised Triliving's contributions over nearly three years but said a fresh leader is needed for the big prize. Under Triliving, Toronto posted a 129 wins, 82 losses and 27 overtime losses record. Fans feel the pressure after just two playoff series wins in two decades. All season moves included, trading for Chris Tanev, signing Oliver Ekman-Larson and hiring coach Craig Barubi.

Before Toronto, Triliving ran Calgary for nine years with solid regular seasons but slim playoff success and he assisted in Arizona earlier. Now the Leafs hunt for a new GM to finally break through.
