Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment has decided to part ways with Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving.
Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president Keith Pelley announced the abrupt change in a news release on Monday night before Toronto played at Anaheim.
“Throughout the course of this season, there has been deep analysis into both the current state of the Maple Leafs organization and the direction needed to achieve the ultimate goal of delivering a Stanley Cup championship to the city,” Pelley said in the release.
“Brad Treliving is a man that we all have deep respect and appreciation for, both as a hockey executive and as a person, but it was determined that the club must chart a new course under different leadership. The organization is grateful for all that Brad has contributed in his nearly three years with the Maple Leafs and we wish him and his family the very best.”
Treliving was hired as general manager of the Maple Leafs on May 31, 2023, replacing Kyle Dubas.
Treliving was named general manager of the Maple Leafs in May 2023 and the club has compiled a 139 – 92 – 27 record, which includes a playoff record of 10-10 with a first round series win over the Ottawa Senators, during that span, MLSE said.
He arrived after nine seasons as GM of the Calgary Flames, where he compiled a 362-265-73 record but advanced past the first round of the playoffs twice.
He previously spent seven seasons with the Arizona Coyotes as vice-president of hockey operations and assistant general manager.
It’s unclear what moving on from Treliving means for the future of coach Craig Berube.
The Leafs are on the verge of being eliminated from playoff contention.
