Next Steps for the Maple Leafs with Gord Stellick

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour alongside Gord Stellick, former Maple Leafs GM and friend of the show! They discuss the timing of Brad Treliving’s firing, what went wrong during his tenure, and the challenges of managing in Toronto. They reflect on key decisions, including the Marner saga, and consider whether the organization needs both a new GM and a President of Hockey Operations. After the break, Ben and Brent share their preferred candidates, debate the possibility of internal promotions, and examine whether a broader organizational restructure is needed. They also discuss the appeal of the job, the importance of experience, and what qualities and next steps will define the next front office leader.
