TORONTO — 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."

The Maple Leafs will introduce Treliving alongside Shanahan on Thursday at 11am ET/8am PT. Watch it LIVE on TSN.ca and the TSN App.

Brad Treliving has been named the club’s General Manager

— Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) May 31, 2023
According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, the Maple Leafs also interviewed former Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin for the vacancy in the days before a deal with Treliving reached its final stages Tuesday night.

Treliving joins the Leafs at a crucial juncture in the wake of Shanahan's stunning Dubas dismissal on May 19.

The Original Six franchise, whose Stanley Cup drought stands at 56 painful years, won a playoff series for the first time in nearly two decades with a victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning this spring, but then bowed out to the Florida Panthers.

Dubas, who had been Toronto's GM since 2018 and didn't have a contract beyond June 30, suggested at a bizarre end-of-season press conference on May 15 he wasn't sure he wanted to remain in the role — at least in part because of the stress on his young family.

A roller-coaster five days followed, with Shanahan ultimately firing the 37-year-old despite previously wanting to keep his GM, and the now-unemployed executive eventually indicating to his boss he wished to stay.

Treliving is the third GM — joining Dubas and Hall of Famer Lou Lamoriello — hired in Toronto by Shanahan, whose so-called "Shanaplan" aimed at getting the storied franchise back on its feet when he came on board in 2014 has seen unparalleled regular-season success, but just that solitary series victory in eight attempts.

"I'm thrilled to join an Original Six team and recognize how much the Maple Leafs mean to this community," Treliving, who will meet the media alongside Shanahan on Thursday, said in the statement announcing his hire as the 18th GM in franchise history.

"This is a very exciting day for my family and I."

The Penticton, B.C., product also has a lot to chew on as he settles into Scotiabank Arena.

Treliving, who served in the Phoenix Coyotes' front office for seven seasons before arriving in Calgary, will have to decide the future of Dubas loyalist and head coach Sheldon Keefe, while stars Auston Matthews and William Nylander can sign contract extensions with one year remaining on their current deals as of July 1.

Matthews and Mitch Marner, who is two years out from unrestricted free agency, have full no-movement clauses ready to kick in the same day. Nylander will have a 10-team list.

:shock: :rofl This guy will trade anyone
I could see Austin in a rangers jersey :lol:

Patrick Kane could miss start of season after hip surgery
34-year-old forward has resurfacing procedure, can become unrestricted free agent July 1

Patrick Kane could miss the start of next season after having hip resurfacing surgery Thursday.

The 34-year-old forward, who can become an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career on July 1, had 57 points (21 goals, 36) in 73 regular-season games this season for the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks, including 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 19 games after he was acquired in a trade with the Blackhawks on Feb. 28.

Kane had six points (one goal, five assists) in the playoffs for the Rangers, who lost in seven games to the New Jersey Devils in the Eastern Conference First Round.

News of the surgery was first reported by Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

"Patrick did this because he wants to continue playing," Kane's agent, Pat Brisson, told NHL.com. "Surgery went extremely well and we're very confident that he will be able to play next year and hopefully for many more years to come."

Two players have come back to play in the NHL after having hip resurfacing surgery: center Nicklas Backstrom, who rejoined the Washington Capitals lineup Jan. 8, nearly seven months after having the procedure, and played 39 games last season; and defenseman Ed Jovanovski, who returned to play 37 games for the Florida Panthers in the 2013-14 season. :- :-

Devils to play Flyers, Rangers against Islanders at 2024 Stadium Series
MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, will host games Feb. 17-18

The New Jersey Devils, Philadelphia Flyers, New York Rangers and New York Islanders will participate in the 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union NHL Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Feb. 17-18.

The Devils will play the Flyers on Feb. 17 and the Rangers will face the Islanders on Feb. 18.

MetLife Stadium, home to the New York Football Giants and New York Jets of the NFL, will host its first NHL outdoor games.

"We had always wanted to go back to play a game a MetLife Stadium. It's always been an interest of ours," NHL executive vice president and chief content editor Steve Mayer said Saturday. "MetLife is an extremely difficult place to think about doing a Winter Classic because of the two NFL teams that are in that building, the Jets and the Giants. So we also had been talking to them on and off and been interested for a long time.

"There's been many iterations of what we wanted to do here, but when we started getting into the matchups, the game, the tri-state area and the great hockey that right now is being played in the New York area, we felt like, 'Wouldn't this be unique and different?' And always trying to keep the Stadium Series and all our outdoor games fresh and the ideas fresh, wouldn't it be great to go with a doubleheader?"

Mayer said the Devils-Flyers game will likely be a night game, but it's unclear what time of day the Rangers and Islanders will play. The games will be broadcast on ESPN.

No matter what time the games are played, Mayer said the event will have a New Jersey feel.

"Our 'wow' factor comes with how we take what is a football field or a stadium and just bring it to life in a unique and creative way," Mayer said. "It's a big NFL stadium and it's our goal to just take it and bring it to life in a way that frankly, we haven't necessarily seen that much. We're going to get super creative. We're going to highlight the area. As it always is with any of our outdoor games, it's our goal that when somebody tunes in to watch this, whether they're in the New York area, they're in Iowa, they're in California or they're overseas, they know we're playing in New Jersey.

"So, we're going to get creative. We're going to look at all the things that that New Jersey area has to offer and the tri-state area, frankly, because we do have four teams playing. Our goal is to bring our field to life and that stadium to life and we're very confident that when everybody gets to see it for the first time, they'll go, 'Wow.'"

Mayer said there will also be plenty of events off the ice to make the event special for all fans.

"One of the things that we've done whether it was in Nashville (2022) or in Dallas (2020) or this past year in Carolina, it's our goal that we put together an interactive event, so every time out something is happening in the arena that kind of leans into where we're at," Mayer said. "This year in Carolina, we constantly had moments throughout the game where things were always happening. We love the fact that when a fan comes in the building, first of all, they're getting an experience that they're never going to forget. It's a bucket list game, a bucket list moment. And then, how we sort of activate the stadium whether it's through music or entertainment or just something that uniquely is a piece of the teams that are playing, whether it's alumni introductions or historic lookbacks. These are the kind of things that we'll strive to do not only in one game but now in two games.

"When the Devils are playing the Flyers, we're going to focus on those two franchises and the next day, we'll switch it up. And whether we switch up the look of the field is still something [we] need to talk about because we could potentially do that from one day to the next as well."

The Devils and Islanders each will play their second outdoor game. The Rangers defeated the Devils 7-3 and the Islanders 2-1 as part of the 2014 Stadium Series at Yankee Stadium in New York.

"Obviously, our whole team is really excited to be able to play in an outdoor game here in New Jersey," Devils captain Nico Hischier said. "It's something I have never experienced, and it will definitely be an event to remember."

Said Islanders president and general manager Lou Lamoriello, "Our fan base is one of the most passionate in the NHL and deserve to experience this memorable event, along with our players and the entire organization. We look forward to playing our division rival inside one of the largest professional stadiums in the country."

The Rangers are 4-0-0 in outdoor games. They also defeated the Flyers 3-2 in the 2012 Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and the Buffalo Sabres 3-2 in overtime in the 2018 Winter Classic at Citi Field in New York.

"Taking part in marquee events is a privilege we don't take for granted," Rangers president and GM Chris Drury said. "I'm excited for our players, organization and fans that the Rangers will have the chance to play outdoors next February."

The Flyers are 1-3-1 outdoors. They lost 2-1 in overtime to the Boston Bruins in the 2010 Winter Classic at Fenway Park in Boston, 4-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2017 Stadium Series at what was then Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, and 7-3 to Boston in the 2021 NHL Outdoors at Lake Tahoe in Stateline, Nevada. The Flyers lone outdoor win came against the Penguins in the 2019 Stadium Series at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia (4-3 in overtime).

"We are thrilled to see the Flyers get the opportunity to participate in the 2024 NHL Stadium Series at MetLife Stadium next February," Flyers president of hockey operations Keith Jones said. "This truly will be a unique event to have four division rivalry teams that will bring their respective longtime histories and fan bases to one venue."

The 2024 Navy Federal Credit Union Stadium Series will be the third and fourth outdoor games scheduled next season; the Calgary Flames will face the Edmonton Oilers in the 2023 Tim Hortons NHL Heritage Classic at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton on Oct. 29, and the Vegas Golden Knights will play the Seattle Kraken in the 2024 Discover NHL Winter Classic at T-Mobile Park in Seattle on Jan. 1.

Dean Matsuzaki, NHL executive vice president of events, said the League is still unsure what the capacity of MetLife Stadium will be for the games. Its current capacity for NFL games is 82,500.

"We're still working to determine that. We anticipate it to be over 75,000 for each game," Matsuzaki said. "There is some renovation work going on next offseason at MetLife Stadium. They have some preparation to do to host FIFA World Cup soccer (in 2026) that will affect some of the low sideline seating one on side. So we're working very closely with them and their construction company to understand that impact on our games, so we will be losing a few seats due to that."

Mayer said the hope is the NHL's sellout streak in outdoor games will remain intact.

"Obviously, the goal as always is to continue our incredible streak of 37 straight sellouts and we really feel very confident that these two matchups will fill the building two days in a row," he said.

There is speculation that Mike Babcock will return to the NHL as the new head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.

Speculation around the Memorial Cup is Mike Babcock will return to the NHL as @BlueJacketsNHL new coach and the delay in announcing coincides with his existing contract with the Maple Leafs expiring the end of this month. https://t.co/OUlxBRS8bq

does Buffalo regret using the doctors they have in evaluating Eichel :- :-

just a thought for the day....

I expect the Panthers to come out loaded for bear in the 1st
if the Knights can handle the first 5-8 minutes
this could end up being a short series (4 or 5)
