Treliving was asked in his opening press conference about some of his current connections with players on the Leafs' roster. He was the GM of Calgary when guys like Mark Giordano and TJ Brodie played for the Flames, so he's fairly familiar with them.
This is what he had to say about Giordano:
Ouch!
While the first comments about Giordano were clearly a joke, Treliving went on to commend Giordano and Brodie for the kind of people that they are and confirmed that he's already been in contact with Giordano over the last few days.
Treliving has certainly made a strong first impression in Toronto and will look to quickly build around his current roster to make them a true contender.
