Insider Believes Brad Treliving Is In The Process Of Making Another Big Move

Brad Treliving spiced things up in Toronto this afternoon when it was announced that he had dealt Sam Lafferty to the Vancouver Canucks. The move came right as the 2:00 p.m. waiver deadline hit, and many NHL teams finalized their rosters for the upcoming season.

More to Come?

According to a certain Maple Leafs insider, Treliving may not be done finalizing his roster just yet, and more moves could be on the way.



Joshua Kloke of The Athletic took to social media following the trade to announce that he believes more is coming from the Leafs' front office, which is entirely plausible when you consider the limbo of the Leafs' current bottom-six.

What Could It Be?

While the move could be something as small as signing Noah Gregor, officially adding him to the mix after a very successful PTO, it could potentially be much bigger.

With young guys such as Fraser Minten and Pontus Holmberg desperately pushing to keep their spots in the lineup ahead of opening night, Treliving has a tough decision to make. If the club deems that their young guns aren't ready for a full NHL season, they could opt to send them down and try to acquire a more established, veteran player to fill their absence.

We don't know for sure who this will be, but there are lots of interesting names on waivers as of this afternoon, and it's entirely plausible that Toronto will try to jump on one and secure their roster.
