I’m going to write about Treliving’s first year as GM, and how most of the moves were bad……Reaves was the worst.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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 ????
