Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving left fans underwhelmed at the NHL Trade Deadline after getting off to a promising start by moving Nic Roy. We break down the disappointing return for Bobby McMann, the embarrassing return for Scott Laughton, and the overall sense of incompetence and lack of direction plaguing the organization. We also discuss the futures of Treliving and Craig Berube, and revisit the organization's refusal to commit to a full rebuild, something that feels more inevitable with each passing day.
