De TheAthletic aujourd’hui, ce sont tous les échanges de Treliving en tant que directeur général pour Toronto, à l’exclusion des choix au repêchage pour les échanges de choix au repêchage (comme 2024 23e au total [Solberg] pour 2024 31ème au classement général [Danford] et un 2ème en 2025 devenu 64ème au classement général [Koblar]) ou rédiger des échanges de droits tels qu’un 6e tour pour les droits de Tanev.
Recherchez une victoire sur cette liste, et je pense que la seule qui constitue une victoire claire est la suppression du contrat de Reaves pour Thrun qui est entièrement enterrable.
Juste un horrible directeur général.

That should say 2024 31st overall [Danford]
Did benning even play for us?
Alot of those trades have been okie dokie up until all the desperation all in the stuff from last year
It’s really just the laughton and Carlos trades. The rest are just low stakes depth trades.
interim GM tier transactions
Now now Shanny is also responsible for much of that trash
Based on his record in Calgary alone, hiring him was a signal that the Leafs arent serious about winning.
Most of these trades are nothing burgers. Many might not be wins but many arent losses either. Only real bad ones are Carlo, Laughton and Marner. Marner one was forced
Biggest takeaway from this list is Treliving couldnt keep talent much like in CGY and he never made any trades big enough to improve the team long term. At least 4 of these deals were deadline adds.
Pierre LeBrun has just reported that the devils are taking calls on former 2nd overall pick RHD Simon Nemec. If Treliving, instead of dilly dallying, waiting 3 games before knowing it was time to sell and liquidate assets. We potentially could have had the assets by now to put in a competent offer, but no, once again we’ll see another team swing for the fences on a young talent. All because we wasted assets on whatever this trade list is, hoping he surprises me and manages to pull it off but his track record gives me little to no hope.
Now add the free agent signings as well.
Im not defending treliving or even arguing that he shouldn’t be fired, but a gm does more than just trade. Look at the contracts hes signed. I dont think theres one you can point at as an objectively bad signing. He did a very good job with the signings he made, its just the carlo trade that looks terrible and the laughton trade is a bit of an overpay.
I still think he deserves to be let go, I just think he deserves some credit for the great contracts we have going forward. Our two best trade assets right now are directly because of great signings he made. OEL was a steal at 3.5 x 4. JT is a steal. Knies is great value. Nylander is worth every penny of his 11.5. Benoit, tanev, stolarz were all signed as free agents. Mcmann, Woll and hildeby, were all swings he took on relatively unproven guys that have massively outplayed their contracts, Woll and hildeby specifically will provide great value for the coming years, and mcmann should be turned into some picks.
A fifth for Lafferty is fair value.
Boosch was great value as a rental at a 3rd. So was Edmundson. They both went on to sign bigger contracts with playoff teams. Wish we had been healthy that year.
Liljegren was fine value. He’s getting healthy scratched this season still.
Maccelli for a third is fine. Thrun for Reaves is fine. Joshua looks decent for a 4th, will have to see him healthy.
I mean if we’re being honest the only bad ones were the ones from last years deadline. It’s an abysmal list from the standpoint that he didn’t make any meaningful adds but the individual trades are fine other than last years deadline which to be fair led us to the deepest playoff run since 2002…

Lets bring back this classic: what if we compare Treliving vs. a Potato in terms of trades and where we be (only including pieces on current roster):
In:
Max Ellis
7th rounder
Liljegren
Grebenkin
2027 1st round
Timmins
Dewar
Minten
2026 1st round
2025 4th
2027 3rd
Reaves
2028 4th
Out:
Tanev
Benning
2026 6th round
2025 3rd round
Laughton
2025 4th
2027 6th
2025 5th
Carlo
Macelli
Roy
Thrun
Joshua
All in all we probably run in this case:
McMann-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-Tavares-Domi
Cowan-Minten-Jarnkrok
Grebenkin-Quillan-Lorentz
Rielly-Stetcher
OEL-Liljegren
McCabe-Benoit
Stolarz
Woll
Like… I think this might be just as good of a team… but we would have 2 first round picks, if we just didnt do anything at all.
Boring, it’s just the two bad trades tbh. He needs to go, it’s not that deep.
Don’t forget the Reaves free agent signing and he signed Pezzetta to this year and another year.
Edit: if you just said « who the hell is Pezzetta, » that kind of proves my point
A 5th for Dewar and Timmins holy crap that is horrible. Both are better then what we have right now.
For a second I thought I missed us getting a 4th for Joshua lol
Liljegren is such a head scratcher for me. What the fuck was the point? Not paying him 3 mil? He’s 12x as fast as half of defence core
Even a mid-tier GM is not good enough for this franchise… It’s the motherfucking Toronto Maple Leafs
Crimes against humanity.
Show what the draft picks became
Total incompetence. Would be managing a Dairy Queen if his dad hadn’t started Boston Pizza.
Sell low buy high
This brother is a coward
On top of what everyone else has said, I completely missed that we gave up two roster players (Dewar and Timmins) and only got a 5th round pick??
I don’t see a ton of horrible failures, other than the Carlo. But I also don’t see any clear wins either, other than the late pick for a depth guy that was liked by the fans sort of move.
I wonder if Treliving can be trusted to do anything at the deadline.
Does this guy even watch hockey?
Although I like Laughton, I miss « backcheck, forecheck, paycheck » and think about it a lot.
Joshua could have been a thing
My mom could have made these trades.
Seriously…
I don’t doubt Brad’s GM abilities. However, I don’t think he is the most well respected and liked among his GM peers and that itself may not make job easier. Pure speculation based on everything I’ve ever read and heard of the him positive and negative
Wait, so the nepo baby GM, wasnt a skilled GM? Crazy
He’s a terrible GM…. Whoever thought he was good is an idiot.
Basically 2 1sts and a 4th for Carlo has to be one of the worst trades of all time.
So he’s essentially lost almost every trade? Some more impactful than others
It seems he is constantly letting decent depth guys go for absolutely nothing while betting r the farm on guys that are marginally better
We give up Connor Dewar and Timmins for a fifth but then give up a 1st and Grebenkin for Laughton
I’d rather have just kept Dewar at that point
