The Toronto Maple Leafs introduced Brad Treliving as the team’s 18th General Manager on Thursday and we’re back to break it all down. We give our take on the Treliving hire, his comments during his introductory press conference, the Auston Matthews contract extension and Sheldon Keefe potentially sticking around. We also discuss Brendan Shanahan’s bizarre few weeks since and what his real role is behind the scenes. Finally, we touch on Kyle Dubas being named President of Hockey Operations with the Pittsburgh Penguins and the strange wake he’s left behind with some of the Toronto sports media.
