Brad Treliving hints at further Maple Leafs moves

The Toronto Maple Leafs have already made plenty of changes to their roster during the offseason, bidding goodbye to a handful of players that include Ilya Samsonov, T.J. Brodie and Tyler Bertuzzi while bringing aboard several new faces.

They've also made two key changes in leadership, firing Sheldon Keefe and hiring Craig Berube while also naming Auston Matthews the 26th captain in franchise history. But GM Brad Treliving may have more up his sleeve as indicated by recent comments that he made.

"To me, we've still got five weeks or so till camp," he said. "And, you know, we're not set yet. We continue to look at ways to make our team better. I said at the end of the year we're going to look at everything. Sometimes people fall in love with ' 'let's make a big change just to make a big change'. At the end of the day, you can go out and make big changes.

If they're not making your team better, to me it doesn't make any sense to just make a change just to stand up and say 'look at it, we made this big change." 

This is going to be a critical season for the Leafs in the wake of yet another early playoff disappointment; additionally, both Tavares and Mitch Marner are entering the final years of their respective contracts.
