Straight from the boss' mouth today

Last night the the Toronto Maple Leafs finally, mercifully dismissed GM Brad Treliving.

CEO Keith Pelley is reportedly wasting no time in holding people accountable and Treliving was the first person to walk the plank for the Leafs' wasted 2025-26 season.

Head coach Craig Berube was reportedly told the new just before the Leafs were set to face-off against the Anaheim Ducks and Berube made the decision to inform his team just before they hit the ice.

As for Berube himself, he doesn't seem to be worried about his own job despite sitting firmly in the hot seat.

"I don't think about it, guys. I mean, I really don't," Berube said to reporters." You probably think I'm bullsh--ting you, but I'm not. I feel for Brad right now & his family. That's what I feel right now."

NHL insider Darren Dreger reported last night that Berube has been given "no indication" on his status with the team moving forward.

Today, Pelley told the media that Berube's future will be determined not by him, but by the team's next GM.

I full expect that Berube will play out the season as Leafs' coach and there should be no tears shed for him when he is eventually dismissed. After all, he still has two more years and $8 million left on his contract with the team. Still, the moment that the team's on-ice responsibilities are over, I expect Berube will be dismissed.
