Insider Reporting More Changes to the Front Office on the Way for the Maple Leafs

The Toronto Maple Leafs made headline news earlier this week when they announced that President Brendan Shanahan would not be back for a 12th season in the Leafs' front office.

Shanahan, who shared an official statement following his dismissal, has since missed out on one intriguing opportunity to join the New York Islanders organization following his release in Toronto. As it turns out, though, Shanahan may not be the only member of the front office to be sent packing.

According to The Fourth Period's David Pagnotta, the Leafs are currently pondering additional changes to the management group in Toronto, which could see more cuts in the coming days once GM Brad Treliving and MLSE CEO Keith Pelley have a chance to sit down together.

Pelley has already confirmed that Treliving himself is safe, as is Leafs head coach Craig Berube. Pelley has expressed his faith in his GM and head coach, and has already suggested that he views them as real assets and that he intends to work very closely with both of them moving forward.

The changes in Toronto are not expected to be limited to just the front office. There are big changes expected for the roster as well, and they could include allowing Mitch Marner to walk in free agency, and a potential trade involving veteran defenseman Morgan Rielly.
