NHL Rumors: Insider Names Next GM on Chopping Block After Brad Treliving’s Firing
Assistant GMs Brandon Pridham and Ryan Hardy will run the team interimly as Keith Pelley begins an exhaustive search for a data-centric hockey leader.
- On Monday, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment CEO Keith Pelley fired general manager Brad Treliving, citing insufficient culture and alignment. Pelley announced the decision Tuesday at Scotiabank Arena, just over 17 hours after the termination.
- Treliving's three-year tenure faced criticism for the sign-and-trade of Mitch Marner to Las Vegas and high costs acquiring defenceman Brandon Carlo and centre Scott Laughton. The Leafs sit seventh in the Atlantic Division, on track to miss playoffs for the first time since 2017.
- Pelley emphasized an "exhaustive" search for a "data-centric" leader, stating, "Every single decision we make will be evidence based." He noted the organization's top-tier resources remained insufficient without proper structure and processes.
- Assistant GMs Brandon Pridham and Ryan Hardy will manage operations on an interim basis while the team searches for a replacement. Head coach Craig Berube remains in his role, though his future depends on the incoming general manager.
- Pelley aims to hire a new leader by late May or early June, emphasizing a "retool, not in a rebuild." The team intends to surround star forwards Auston Matthews and William Nylander with better personnel to compete for the Stanley Cup.
