Maple Leafs Explore Trade Options to Revive Slumping Season
17 Nov
Summary
- Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving considering trade to address 5-game losing streak
- Replacing coach Craig Berube not a preferred option yet
- Potential trade targets include Max Domi, Brandon Carlo, and Jonathan Marchessault
As of November 17th, 2025, the Toronto Maple Leafs find themselves in a difficult position, having lost five games in a row. Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving is now faced with three options to address the team's struggles.
The first option is to do nothing and wait for the storm to pass, hoping that injured players will return to bolster the lineup. The second option is to replace head coach Craig Berube, a move that the Leafs have made in the past when facing a similar losing streak. However, this is not a route that Treliving seems eager to take, at least not yet.
The third and most likely path is a trade. Treliving is exploring the possibility of making a roster-shaking trade, one that would involve moving a player the team is willing to part with in exchange for someone who could provide a spark. The challenge lies in identifying the right players to move, as the Leafs' most valuable assets are likely off-limits.
