The hunt for a new general manager is on for the Toronto Maple Leafs, and it seems the team has already set their sights on some promising candidates. The Leafs' President, Brendan Shanahan already said that he wants a veteran GM.This gives us a clearer insight into the probable choices. <h2>Clear favourite to land the Leafs GM job has been revealed </h2> Reporter Andy Strickland has recently indicated that Brad Treliving, currently concluding his contract with the Flames, is the leading candidate to be the Leafs' next GM. Strickland's tweet, available below, reveals that Treliving won't be returning to the Flames, setting the stage for his potential move to Toronto. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/andystrickland/status/1661343686985150465'> </a></blockquote></div> As other teams are also on the lookout for a new GM, it's imperative for the Leafs to act quick. They run the risk of losing Treliving to another team if they wait too long. <h2>An Experienced Manager</h2> Brad Treliving is no stranger to making bold moves. He's demonstrated his willingness to trade top-tier players, evidenced by one of the NHL's most significant trades last season. Treliving shipped Matthew Tkachuk to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jonathan Huberdeau, Mackenzie Weegar, and future picks. Toronto could benefit from such audacious decision-making, particularly if they choose to deviate from the Core Four. While nothing is officially set in stone yet, it would be wise to keep an eye on the headlines in the forthcoming days and weeks.
