We updated the Toronto Maple Leafs GM search earlier tonight Insider Trading. More specifically, all signs now point to the search wrapping up in the very near future with Brad Treliving being named as the new GM.

Well see all the rumors and reports again but I don’t see it happening. They’ll want the house for Marner and I don’t see Don giving up that much for him
Why would we want marner? He’s another small pass first expensive as hell forward. We need a player like tkachuk not marner
I’m talking from my ass here, but I honestly don’t see the need for a guy like Necas in Toronto. It seems like they’ve got the skilled, offense threat guy cornered. So unless it’s a straight salary dump, I don’t know why they’d be after Necas.
If they think a guy like Marner is the problem there, then they’re probably trying to get more mean, physical players instead? I dunno.
And if it’s a salary dump, we should maybe be keeping our one razzle dazzle forward and send them cheaper contracts. But that’s just me talking out my ass.
Why trade a young skilled player that he’s afraid of his own shadow in the playoffs to another young skilled soft player that disappears in the playoffs too ? Makes no sense. At least for Tkatchuk it was making sense.
I’m not buying it. From either side.
The Leafs already have plenty of skill guys who disappear in the playoffs. Why would they want to add another?
And playing in Rod’s system, Marner’s production won’t be significantly better than Necas’ has been. Why would the ‘Canes (known to be big stat guys) want to get the same numbers at $7 million more per year?
When were the canes ever linked to Tkachuk? I don’t recall that
I remember Florida and like Dallas and St Louis
