The Toronto Maple Leafs needed to make some big moves this off-season after another playoff disappointment, and on day one of free agency, there were busy acquiring solid veterans. Now however, it's pushed them right up against the salary cap, and with teams out there having plenty of cap space, the moves they can make have become very clear.

He would go on to clarify that while the players are seen as available, they aren't actively being shopped, and if the right deal comes along that Treliving can't pass up, they'd pull the trigger.
After their first-round loss, the Maple Leafs have clearly been aggressive on the free agent market, and with the chance to make some noise via trade, look for Treliving to be equally as aggressive.
