Maple Leafs hire ex-Flames boss Brad Treliving as general manager

Brad Treliving has a new gig. And the Maple Leafs have a new plan.

Treliving was named Toronto’s general manager Wednesday, less than two weeks after a jaw-dropping chain of events led to the firing of Kyle Dubas.

The 53-year-old Treliving left the Calgary Flames in April following nine seasons that included five playoff appearances and two 100-point campaigns.

“Brad brings a wealth of knowledge from his years of experience,” Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a release. “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.”
