The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Wednesday that they have hired Brad Treliving to become the next general manager.
This comes after weeks of speculation since the Toronto Maple Leafs parted ways with Kyle Dubas. Treliving appeared to be the top candidate from the start.

Treliving spent nine seasons at the helm in Calgary. Like most GM’s he had many ups and downs in his time with the Flames.
There are many areas which can be used to grade a general managers performance. From team performance, player development, drafting, trades, free agent signings, and more.
