Treliving quit on the team and left them in a really rough state being locked in to so many long term deals. Pissing away the 1st to dump Monahan to only sign Kadri when this team needs a rebuild is infuriating.
In a typical year I would cheer for the Leafs over the Canucks but now the Leafs are only second to the Oilers for teams I do not want to win anything.

To be fair, and accurate, Conroy inherited 7 pending UFA’s and one pending RFA. I think it would be exceedingly rare for a new GM to inherit a team with no long term contracts on the books.
Conroy has actually walked into a pretty favourable position. He’s been able to make moves and has a decent set of young prospects.
Mike Grier, on the other hand, inherited a much much worse situation. Is Barry Trotz’s situation all that much more favourable? Dubas? Treliving with the Leafs?
Conroy’s situation ain’t all that bad.
