Treliving Eyeing Trade, but excludes controversial attacker

Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brad Treliving has confirmed that finding another top-six-attacker remains a priority because the team continues the preparations for the 2025-26 season.

Speaking with reporters who admitted Treliving that the search is underway, but is challenging in view of the stagnant trade and free agent market this summer. “Yes,” he said when he was asked if the need is still there. “It’s not a lack of trying. You always want to try to improve your team. I think the competition was a slower summer. … We would like to add [a top-six forward]. “

Treliving spoke about internal competition on Wednesday and how some of their young boys should insist on jobs. The team has more bodies than available jobs. That means that not everyone fits, and that can mean that some individuals are moved.

The Maple Leafs are not strangers for limitations of salary hood, and those limits remain one of the biggest obstacles for the organization, because it tries to complete its selection. Trade analysts have pointed to the CAP situation of Toronto as a reason for the lack of movement, even if the team wants to keep pace with rivals in the Eastern conference that have strengthened their line -ups earlier in the low season.

Dillon Dube is not on the radar of Toronto

After a report by Darren Dregerer that Dillon Dube might be someone who is interested in Toronto, Treliving in essence shot it down. He said: “You should be very comfortable” in adding one of the five Canadian WJC players to your team. The link was because of their history in Calgary, but he adds: “That has not been a focus for us.”

Treliving also confirmed that the Maple Leafs and Anthony Stolarz are actively working on an extension.

They are optimistic about reaching an agreement before the regular season starts, but Stolarz has hinted that he might not be willing to negotiate as soon as the season starts. “I want to get it done as quickly as possible, especially before the season starts.” He called his first run ‘a huge success’ and says that he is ‘100 percent healthy’.
