The offseason has been productive for Toronto, with the addition of Craig Berube as head coach and signings like Chris Tanev, Anthony Stolarz, and Oliver Ekman-Larsson to bolster the defense. However, Treliving recently hinted in an interview that the team's moves might not be finished yet, even as training camp approaches.
With players like Nick Robertson unhappy with their roles and several veterans filling the bottom-six (David Kampf, Calle Jarnkrok, Ryan Reaves), changes could be on the horizon. While Toronto's top-six forwards are among the most talented in the NHL, the bottom-six production has been lacking. If Treliving can secure a stronger presence for the third line, this could be Toronto's year.
Treliving is known for avoiding major trades at the deadline, so he may aim to finalize the roster by opening night. If he can move Robertson in exchange for a more established player in the bottom-six, confidence in the team will remain high.
