Leafs Front Office 2026-27

5. Let’s go to Toronto. I was chatting with someone Friday who wondered why I wasn’t talking more about The Athletic article last week (which was very well-done) about the inner workings of the Maple Leafs’ front office. Toronto GM changes are now a gold mine for reporters. When Dubas left, there were stories for weeks. And, in the aftermath of Brad Treliving’s dismissal, the open antagonism between who supported him and who didn’t is pouring out like a flood. So, for me, there’s a little of everyone here is taking their pound of flesh.

At one of the pre-deadline meetings, a person told me a comment was made by someone (and I don’t believe it was Keith Pelley) that the way hockey operations handled things would not be tolerated in the business world. It was supposed to be whispered, but it was heard. You can imagine how that was received, particularly by people who thought the interventions were handled terribly. It’s like a bad breakup: there’s one side, there’s the other side, and the truth is usually in the middle. There is no doubt this season has left scars on the organization, the front office, the coaching staff and the players. That story definitely had some people wondering what really is going on in Toronto, but that’s what the interview process is for — candidates ask those questions and decide if this is for them. We will see how it all plays out.

I think EF has the long and short of it. When Treliving was fired, the writing was on the wall for his factions of the office, and thus they have nothing to lose by trying to set the narrative. Similar to Dubas’ exit, and the stories out of Calgary when Treliving left them.

I want to believe, but it’s Simmons

P/HOHO: Mike Gillis
VPOVibes&Alumni: Mats Sundin
GM: some AGM nerd probably

And if it’s Gillis, he’ll likely want some semblance of the structure he proposed to the Penguins

I assume Pridham, Hardy, and Dr. Wickenheiser are retained as AGMs.

Could probably promote Leach as AGM of Scouting 1, and hire old friend Judd Brackett as AGM of Scouting 2.
