Out with the Old, In with the...?? Exactly What are the Leafs Getting in New Hire Brad Treliving?

Ladies Talkin’ Leafs

Welcome to June! No shortage of Leaf news to talk about, that’s for sure and we love it! Its been tough to be patient in Leaf Land with so much riding on the off season, and there was no time to waste for Brendan Shanahan and MLSE in hiring Kyle Dubas's successor! On May 31st, Brad Treliving was named the 18th General Manager in Maple Leafs franchise history! While there were several experienced candidate names floating around, the consensus pick by most was Treliving.

In this episode we will look at the Leafs' new hire, and discuss what we think he brings to the table, as well as his most pressing orders of business. To that end, with 10 UFA's looking for contracts and some key RFA's as well, we discuss who we think will be staying or leaving, and what it might take to keep a few key individuals.

Then in the Third Period, with Dubas "turning up" in Pittsburgh at the very moment that MLSE was introducing his replacement, we thought we would weigh in on his new gig and how things shook out since his untimely exit from the Leafs.

Finally, there's still Stanley Cup action happening! The Ladies have got you covered, and we break down our picks for the series as well as Con Smythe winner. Surprisingly there was some debate as to who each of us are backing for the Cup!

While the 2022-23 NHL season is winding down, and the off-season drama is preparing to unfold, we waiting in the wings ready to report! From welcoming new prospects from the draft to the wheeling and dealing of free agency, we'll be running down the top signings and stories, even if we have to do it from the Patio! Stay tuned... Go Leafs Go!
