2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

No, it doesn’t make a lot of sense, which is why it didn’t happen that way. “GM DNA”didn’t walk away from the player; the player left the team.

I think he did. Treliving was flirting with trading him in the media in June 2024. He did not make a great effort to stand up for him nor make it any kind of a priority to re-sign him. Then he attempted to move him at the deadline. For a player of Marner's stature and with his record, Marner's GM basically said he wasn't very important to his team through his actions and let the media fry him. Marner took the harsh hint. Marner wasn't going to hang around where his GM didn't really want him. If Dubas or another NHL GM was around, Marner would probably still be in Toronto.

I'm not reading your treatise on the most important player of all time. Sorry.

How could you draw that conclusion if you didn't read it?

Marner will never be regarded anything close to that. But Treliving's handling of Marner is likely be in his Leafs GM epitaph as a significant error taking a crowbar to a roster of a team that was one win away from beating the Cup champs.
