Now that Brad Treliving is officially the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, expect him to bring in some familiar faces.

Treliving has had a long career in professional hockey and is very respected around the NHL, which is why the Toronto Maple Leafs hired him so quickly.

The team waited less than two weeks after firing Kyle Dubas and found the man they hope will bring them success.

Whether Dubas or Treliving was the GM of the Leafs this year, it felt like the team was going to stay pretty much in-tact.

There may be one move up-front, but it would be shocking if one of either Auston Matthews or Mitch Marner was traded this offseason.

As much as they would fetch a ton on the open-market, you really shouldn’t trade those type of players. Marner and Matthews are arguably two of the top-five players in Leafs history so when you have them under contract, it’s best to keep them on your roster.

Although they haven’t won in the playoffs yet, they’re so talented that they should eventually break through. They finally won a playoff round this season, so that’s a step, but before we know it, if those two lead your team and perform at their best abilities, Toronto should be in a good place next spring.

Every GM has a player or two they seem to bring everywhere they go, so Treliving shouldn’t be any different. Here are three UFA’s you can expect him to try to sign this offseason.
