Brad Treliving did a wonderful job of getting rid of a mistake from 2 years ago. Moving Reaves and getting a prospect in return will start to change the culture in the Leafs dressing room. Marner and his mercenary behaviour was the first big step and now Reaves. Reaves had only 1 fight last year. His slow skating and propensity for taking dumb penalties finally signaled the end of his time in Toronto, and it gets another problem child out of the organization. Still there’s a few others that need to be dispatched and a proper first line winger coming in to help the Matthews line. For those who think the sky is falling, I disagree. Sure, one 100 point player off the roster, but significant cap relief can only help. There’s also the option to trade Anthony Stolarz for a great return. Stolarz had a career year and will be looking for a huge raise after this season. With Woll rounding into the number 1 goaltender, a good backup should suffice and allow the team the opportunity to either reacquire draft picks or a top 6 forward or a top 4 defender. The only question is, can Treliving make that deal without egg hitting him in the face. Should be an interesting season coming up.

Yup, and Reaves was a $200K cap hit on the Marlies and Thrun won’t be one at only $1 million. He’s a 24 year old RFA as well. He’s a simple choice for the leafs, if he doesn’t fit their style they don’t resign him, but he’s a 6’ 210lb D man, so I kind of like which way it’s leaning that he will ????
The gall of this overpaid broken down plug that wouldn’t even fight in his final year to say “it wasn’t a good fit, fans turn on you fast.” Fuck off you Winterpeg loser. We were turned off the second you got three years at 35 when everybody in the league knew you were done and hoped you were a “vibes” guy. Ah yes, the “vibes.” The magical ingredient to making the teams best players play well when it counts. Enjoy your millions in the sun.
I’m going to write about Treliving’s first year as GM, and how most of the moves were bad……Reaves was the worst.

To be fair he drafted Cowan and resigned Matthews that year, and even Nylander was resigned very early January 2024, and considering the fact he was tossed in at the last minute before July 1 (1 whole month) that’s not bad at all.

That’s not entirely true. A lot of dummy Leafs fans, the same ones who are happy with what the Leafs are doing right now, were very happy about Reaves signing.

Treliving is going to destroy this team the same way he left Calgary in shambles.
Start preparing your draft rankings for 2028 (if the Leafs don’t trade that pick too) because the next rebuild is around the corner. This team is just starting to circle the drain.

That might be the end result, but right now I think he has done a good job. We’ll have to see what he can do to get around some of his and the previous regimes moves.

Are you back from purgatory? Wife must have leashed you, but gave you a hero cookie to behave, while she lay on her sofa and you rubbed her feet.
Anyway, I figure the Leafs have a 2 year window to get the job done. After that, it’ll be a retooling time. If they can’t get assets for Matthews and or Nylander, once they hit their 30’s, it’ll be a fire sale to recoup young assets, something like Boston is currently doing. The only outlier is if McDavid hits free agency and they flip either Matthews or Nylander to free up cap space and build around McDavid. I give that about a 5% chance of happening. The stupidity of the league to not broach the taxation issues, in the new Collective bargaining agreement was a major faux pa. The League is too fixated at trying to make the southern cities acceptable for hockey. They’ll do an expansion and allow the two deep south entrants to get competitive quickly and screw teams like Buffalo and Columbus that can’t get or keep good young players. Bettman and his owner buddies are ruining this great sport.

It almost certainly is the end result because this is the Leafs. He’s done a mostly terrible job. The fact that he has to get around stupid shit he did himself is already disqualifying.
Treliving was an assistant GM in Phoenix for almost 7 years. What the fuck did Phoenix ever do that was great because of him? He turned that into being GM of the Flames for 9 years. Ran that team into the ground. 16 years of futility and mediocrity turned into being the puppet GM for Shanahan.
This guy, ain’t the guy to turn this team into a Cup winner.
UG is here with his “Leafs are crashing” pouting again.
The guy is just a Canadian player fan and it’s pretty fucking obvious. Look at Clark and Gilmour on his pic. If Marner was on the team when those two were Mitch would have had his ass beat in the dressing room routinely playing like the whiny ass little pussy that he is.

Argument, wrecked.

Oh yeah I’m sure he would have spoken openly about it on the media. Fuck you’re stupid. I said the dressing room specifically for a reason.
Have you ever even played the sport you dense fuck nut?

Wrong and raging about it. Go figure.

Wrong and raging about it. Go figure.Not raging at all.
Just calling you what you are.
If you honestly believe this team was fully leaning on a 4th overall pick who never once won a significant award your logic needs some work.
