Rumors are gaining momentum in the wake of the Leafs' unsuccessful playoff run, and the recent installation of Brad Treliving at the helm of operations. Social media platforms are abuzz with whispers of a potential trade involving a star from the famed 'Core Four'. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LeafsNeedGod/status/1665033653297053702'> </a></blockquote></div> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/LeafsAllDayy/status/1667516325185421315'> </a></blockquote></div> It's been but a few weeks into Treliving's tenure, but signs of sweeping changes loom on the horizon, stirring up anticipation for the weeks ahead.
