Brad Treliving Hired as New Maple Leafs General Manager, Tasked With Securing Core Forwards

Treliving is coming from nine seasons as the Calgary Flames general manager and previously worked for the Arizona Coyotes.
Treliving is replacing Kyle Dubas, whose contract was not renewed after the Maple Leafs were eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.
Treliving's top priority will be negotiating a new contract for star center Auston Matthews, who can become an unrestricted free agent after next season.
Treliving will also have to determine whether to extend forwards William Nylander and Mitch Marner, who have expensive contracts with trade protection kicking in soon.
While Treliving built capable defenses in Calgary, his tendency to hand out large contracts to aging players is a concern for Toronto.
