Fired Maple Leafs GM Lands Surprising New Gig

He was supposed to be the guy who would take the Toronto Maple Leafs over the hump. Instead of elevating them, he fell flat on his face. Brad Treliving was dismissed by the Maple Leafs last spring after a horrendous season, in which Toronto ended the year as the fifth-worst team in the NHL. Hey, at least that placement in the NHL standings landed them a pretty nice consolation prize in Gavin McKenna. Aside from that, there’s not much to applaud Treliving for during his three seasons in Toronto.
