Hey guys… Leafs fan here in peace. Just a question….
Does Treliving “leak” selectively to the media during the off-season, or does he maintain a “penalty of death” cone of silence around the front office? Just curious since the next month are setting up to be a spectacle in T.O.
thanks

Someone in the organization does. Seems like we knew a LOT more when Treliving was GM than when Burke or Feaster were in charge. Or maybe Treliving was just in on more action.Hey guys… Leafs fan here in peace. Just a question….

Never during late off-season though. I really think the entire staff takes a bit of time off during summer, once free agency cools off.
Guy got constantly shat on by calgarypuck for having some balls. One of the few in Calgary media that has that.TSN's Salim Valji made the following prediction back in December 30, 2022:
The Toronto Maple Leafs target Brad Treliving to become their new General Manager.
Salim Valji: Predictions for Calgary Flames in 2023 | TSN
With the calendar flipping soon, here are five bold predictions for what lies ahead for the Calgary Flames franchise.www.tsn.ca
Maple Leafs target Brad Treliving to lead their hockey operations
We’ll get the boldest prediction out of the way early on.
Anything can change with a phone call, but at this moment I don’t think Brad Treliving will be back as the team’s general manager, a post he’s held since 2014. Treliving is in the final season of his contract and has not put pen to paper on a new deal, despite Darryl Sutter inking a two-season extension at the start of the season.
The power dynamic in Calgary is different. Sutter is extremely tight with Murray Edwards, the team’s principal owner, and has far more influence on different areas of the organization than most people can imagine. It’s also fair to ask if Sutter and Treliving have been on the same page this season regarding player usage and integrating young players into the lineup.
This Flames group has gotten off to a bit slower of a start than expected and the roster has some flaws, but by and large Treliving has a very good reputation around the league as someone who works extremely hard and is unafraid of being bold on the trade market or in free agency. Treliving has never worked under an owner with the resources and mindset of MLSE, and the allure of building in the league’s biggest market will be tempting for him…even if Edwards does eventually make him a market-value offer.
Current Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas is the final season of his deal as well and should the two sides move on, I think Treliving will immediately become Toronto’s top target as their next head of hockey operations.
The alternative was seeing large chunks of the roster demand a trade. I don’t think Edward’s is too pleased paying 8m buckaroos for sutter to be at the ranch.Sutter is so extremely tight with Murray Edwards, having far more influence on different areas of the organization than most people can imagine, that Edwards let his peons Maloney and Bean do whatever they wanted and fire Darryl.
He's no different than Eric FrancisGuy got constantly shat on by calgarypuck for having some balls. One of the few in Calgary media that has that.
Eric Francis can be a pain in the ass too, but at least he is someone who isn’t just milquetoast and sucking this org’s toes all the time. Sutter pissed off almost the entire organization, and yet we heard almost nothing from the local media outside of one or two guys.He's no different than Eric Francis
I think that was more so Sutter rubbed Salim the wrong way early on, whereas Francis is hard wired to be cringe and doesn't care if a coach snaps back at him. That's the only difference between them. Valji got a bruise on his large ego, and had an agenda apart from his clickbait from then on.Eric Francis can be a pain in the ass too, but at least he is someone who isn’t just milquetoast and sucking this org’s toes all the time.

Probably one of the few Hanifin trades I could be down with. Would make the Flames top 6 incredibly soft though. Not like its difficult to play with as it is though...Nylander for Hanifin let’s go
Wrong forum? Plus there is a $4 million difference in salary which Calgary can't take on.Kadri for Tavares, get that truculence in the line up Brad and free up $$$ for Matthews.
