Last summer was a big off-season for the Maple Leafs: Brad Treliving was hired as the general manager. Many players, including Ryan O'Reilly, Luke Schenn, Justin Holl, Michael Bunting, Noel Acciari, and Alexander Kerfoot, left the team, among others. Auston Matthews signed his historic contract, while Max Domi, Ryan Reaves, Tyler Bertuzzi, and John Klingberg joined the team.
When Treliving came in, he wanted to bring on as much help as he could for the season. According to a new report, he was interested in a top defenseman, who rejected him to join the Arizona Coyotes.
We're almost at the deadline and the Leafs still need a top defenseman. They got Ilya Lyubushkin from the Ducks on Thursday night, but Matt Dumba could still be an interesting target for Brad Treliving.
