"I am very excited and honored to join the
Toronto Maple Leafs as general manager," Treliving said. "I
would like to thank Brendan (Shanahan, Maple Leafs president),
MLSE (Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment) and its Board for their
support throughout this process. I'm thrilled to join an
Original Six team and recognize how much the Maple Leafs mean to
this community. This is a very exciting day for my family and
I."
The Calgary Flames parted ways with Treliving in April after
nine seasons as their general manager. Calgary reached the
postseason on five occasions during that time, however it
advanced past the first round on just two occasions.
Treliving also previously served as an assistant general manager
with the Arizona Coyotes.
"I'm very pleased to welcome Brad into the Maple Leafs
organization," Shanahan said. "Brad brings a wealth of knowledge
from his years of experience as a general manager and hockey
executive in Calgary, Arizona and beyond. He has earned
tremendous respect amongst his peers throughout his years in the
NHL and has built excellent relationships at all levels within
the game. We are confident that Brad's leadership and strategic
vision will elevate the Maple Leafs in our continued pursuit of
a championship."
Dubas spent the past five seasons as general manager of the
Maple Leafs. Toronto opted to move on from Dubas after the team
was eliminated in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs
by the Florida Panthers in five games.
Dubas, 37, joined the franchise in 2014 as assistant general
manager, and he concurrently served as GM of the Toronto Marlies
of the American Hockey League. He was promoted to Maple Leafs GM
in 2018.
Toronto finished more than 10 games above .500 in each of his
campaigns.
The Maple Leafs logged 111 points this season, fourth best in
the Eastern Conference. Toronto finally won a playoff series for
the first time since 2003-04 by eliminating the Tampa Bay
Lightning before the loss to the Panthers.
