Brad Treliving’s Active Summer
Brad Treliving, the General Manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been remarkably active this summer as he fine-tunes the team’s roster. The 55-year-old executive recently executed a notable sign-and-trade deal involving star player Mitch Marner, sending him to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Nicolas Roy. In a bid to enhance the Maple Leafs’ depth, Treliving also acquired forward Matias Maccelli and winger Dakota Joshua.
Family Time and Social Media
As the summer progresses, Treliving took a moment to enjoy some family time, appearing in a playful TikTok video alongside his daughter Reese. In the clip, he is seen casually dressed and sporting sunglasses, humorously apologizing for their tardiness due to some antics from his daughter and her friend. His presence in social media brought a light-hearted note to the busy offseason. The Maple Leafs’ official account chimed in on the video, teasingly remarking on his engagement with TikTok.
Roster Enhancements
In addition to the Marner trade, Treliving solidified his roster by securing several other key players before free agency, including extending the contracts of John Tavares, Matthew Knies, and Steven Lorentz. Tavares’s new deal is a four-year contract valued at $17.5 million, while Knies received a six-year extension worth $46.5 million, and Lorentz signed a three-year deal totaling $4.05 million. These transactions occurred shortly after the Maple Leafs’ disappointing playoff exit at the hands of the back-to-back Stanley Cup champions, the Florida Panthers.
Future Prospects
Moreover, Treliving has been busy beyond trades and contracts; he oversaw the selection of six players in the upcoming 2025 NHL Draft. The drafted prospects, including Tinus Luc Koblar and Tyler Hopkins, participated in the team’s development camp earlier in July, reinforcing the Maple Leafs’ commitment to future talent.
Current Roster and Upcoming Season
As for the current roster, players like Tavares, Bobby McMann, and Chris Tanev are among those spending their summer in Toronto, while others are expected to return to the city in August ahead of the training camp.
Looking ahead, the Maple Leafs’ preseason will commence on September 21 with a matchup against the Ottawa Senators, setting the stage for the regular season opener against the Montreal Canadiens on October 8.
