Leafs GM Defends Security Measures After Marner Cites Safety Concerns in Exit to Golden Knights

Brad Treliving said the Maple Leafs maintain dedicated security resources to protect players.

Overview

  • Responding at NHL GM meetings, Brad Treliving said player care is the club’s top priority and that the team takes every precaution to keep players and families safe.
  • Mitch Marner recently said his home address was posted online after Toronto’s second-round loss to Florida, prompting him to hire private protection for his family.
  • Multiple reports describe a pattern of harassment toward Marner, including doxxing, objects thrown into his yard, and a death threat, with team security and local police involved.
  • Marner’s move came via a July sign-and-trade to Vegas, where he signed an eight-year, $96 million deal with a $12 million cap hit, with Nicolas Roy going to Toronto.
  • Treliving said Toronto will replace Marner’s contributions by committee and sees opportunity for depth additions and emerging players to take larger roles.
