We have one team in the Stanley Cup Final and we may have another soon. The Toronto Maple Leafs had aspirations of a long post-season run. However, there&#8217;s a wild off-season of changes set for the club. Former general manager Kyle Dubas <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/05\/19\/toronto-maple-leafs-general-manager-dubas\/\" target=\"_self\">has departed the club<\/a> and left a vacancy. Today&#8217;s NHL rumours looks at the Toronto Maple Leafs general manager search and one name that is definitely in play.<\/p>\n<h2>NHL Rumours<\/h2>\n<h3>Update on Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Search<\/h3>\n<p>Rumour: TSN&#8217;s Darren Dreger said that former Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving is the prohibitive favourite to get the job. Dreger appeared with Bryan Hayes, Jeff O\u2019Neill and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/mclenja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jamie McLennan<\/a> on Overdrive about this. The panel agreed that the Leafs would love to get a new general manager installed soon.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dreger: \u2018It kind of feels like it\u2019s Treliving\u2019s job to lose.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>WATCH: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tkQhYyLSZu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/tkQhYyLSZu<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PUX7lBfcbh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/PUX7lBfcbh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; TSN (@TSN_Sports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TSN_Sports\/status\/1661517446824484866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 24, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Treliving and the Flames<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2023\/04\/17\/calgary-flames-general-manager-brad-treliving-departs\/\" target=\"_self\"> parted ways<\/a> at the end of a disappointing season. Calgary had put up some road blocks in front of Treliving talking to other teams. However, Calgary relented and eventually hired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/conrocr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Craig Conroy<\/a> as a new general manager. Leafs president <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/shanabr01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brendan Shanahan<\/a> said that he would like a general manager with previous experience.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow TSN insider Chris Johnston<a href=\"https:\/\/www.northstarbets.ca\/sportsbook\/insights?utm_source=twitter_share&amp;utm_medium=ishare&amp;utm_campaign=126452#news\/article\/126452\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> added that some names<\/a> like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/bergema01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marc Bergevin<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/botteja01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2023-05-25_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jason Botterill<\/a> and others that could be considered by the MLSE. There was also a long-shot mention of Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues, but he has three years left on his deal. It&#8217;s a coveted, but high-pressure job.<\/p>\n<h3>Where Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Search May Go?<\/h3>\n<p>Insider Andy Strickland <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/andystrickland\/status\/1661343686985150465\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">agrees with Dreger<\/a> that the job is pretty much Treliving&#8217;s to lose. Leafs owner Larry Tanenbaum is very familiar with the Treliving family and the dealings with Brad&#8217;s father, Jim.<\/p>\n<p>A segment of Leafs&#8217; fans would probably not like the move because Treliving being a retread. Some want Brandon Pridham or a younger thinker like Carolina&#8217;s Eric Tulsky to get a crack at the job. However, there&#8217;s going to be criticism of whoever Toronto selects as the general manager.<\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Sergei Belski-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time for another round of NHL rumours.
