Toronto Maple Leafs: Who Will be the First Player Traded this Season?
Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving, who was hired on May 31, 2023, a few days after Memorial Day, had a tidy, quiet summer.
He crossed off a few things on his to-do list: he signed some free agents on July 1; got star center Auston Matthews to agree on a long-term extension; and gave head coach Sheldon Keefe some security by lengthening his pact with the Toronto Maple Leafs by two years.
There is one rather large piece of business left for the Leafs decision maker: the looming status of free-agent to be William Nylander, the forward whose current deal runs out at the end of the upcoming campaign.
