Maple Leafs Officially Address the Future of GM Brad Treliving After Humiliating Playoff Exit

When the Maple Leafs vaulted out in front of the Florida Panthers, taking a 2-0 series lead in Round 2, all of the talk around the league was about how different this Leafs team really is.

However, knowing now what we didn't know then, the same playoff demons crept up on the team, who could not find a way to rise to the occasion, bowing out in embarrassing fashion, being outscored 12-4 in the final 3 games of the series, including two 6-1 blowout losses in Games 5 and 7.

The disappointing exit has already cost team President Brendan Shanahan his job in Toronto, with MLSE ousting the 11-year executive on Thursday, following a lengthy board meeting to determine the future of the organization.

Now, thanks to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman, we now also know the fate of Leafs GM Brad Treliving, who was, surprisingly, also on the hot seat following the loss to Florida. Per Friedman, Treliving will remain in Toronto as the team's general manager moving forward.

The Leafs' subtractions will not be limited to the front office, as Mitch Marner also poised to move on when free agency opens on July 1st.

In addition, it appears as though Associate Coach Lane Lambert will be on the move as well, with the recent news that the Leafs have granted him permission to speak with the Seattle Kraken about their vacant head coaching position.
