Maple Leafs Ownership Directs Brad Treliving to Make a Blockbuster Trade...and Fast
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has been looking for ways to improve the team, and it seems like ownership has a clear directive.
Brad Treliving is one of the best general managers in the NHL, and there is no denying that he is someone who is always thinking about the next move.
For months now, fans have been wanting the general manager to take a big swing. A blockbuster deal that could bring a top-six forward to the team.
Making these moves isn't easy, and it costs a lot of assets. Whether that be roster players or draft picks, Treliving has to be smart.
With that in mind, some have wondered if ownership even wants him to make a move. After all, they get the final say when it comes to expenditures.
Brad Treliving could make a huge move for the Toronto Maple Leafs
According to Pierre LeBrun on Insider Trading, the word around the league is that MLSE has given Treliving the green light to do as he pleases.
Reading between the lines...Brad Treliving has the full green light to take a swing here before the March 6th trade deadline
This is certainly good news for all of the Toronto Maple Leafs fans out there. However, you have to wonder if Treliving will act on this green light.
A trade before the trade deadline would be a lot of fun. But who do they go after? A puck-moving defenseman or a top-six forward.
They likely only have a shot at one of these things this season. That means Treliving is going to have to be very smart with his decision.
Going forward, it will be very interesting to see how this all plays out, and if the Leafs can do something special.
