[Brad Treliving - front runner by defaultBrad Treliving seems to be the only candidate for the job of Leafs GM because he quit his last one. Who exactly is Treliving and is he better than all the rest because he still knows the fax number of the NHL offices?![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/34/01/3401a938-f468-4c02-a227-9bc4cc09bad4/content/images/size/w256h256/format/png/2023/04/pension-plan-min.svg)PPP LeafsCathy Squires![](https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1475274110913-480c45d0e873?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wxMTc3M3wwfDF8c2VhcmNofDd8fGZyb250JTIwcnVubmVyfGVufDB8fHx8MTY4NDY3MjM0MHww&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=2000content/images/size/w1200)](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/brad-treliving-frontrunner-by-default/)

Ten days later...

And now this summer, the only serious candidate the Leafs had for the open coaching position was Craig Berube. The rumours started before Sheldon Keefe was even fired.

The Leafs did interview Todd McLenllan, but seven days later, Berube is the official choice.

Okay, it's not official yet, but it will be soon.
