Brad Treliving, the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, has been proactive in enhancing the team’s roster by signing young talent. One notable addition is defenseman Noah Chadwick, who was selected in the sixth round of the previous NHL Draft. Standing 6’4″ and weighing 200 pounds, Chadwick has demonstrated impressive performance with the Lethbridge Hurricanes in the Western Hockey League (WHL), recording 7 goals and 17 assists in 30 games during the current season. Upon concluding his WHL season, it’s anticipated that Chadwick will join the Toronto Marlies, the Maple Leafs’ American Hockey League affiliate. citeturn0search0
In addition to Chadwick, Treliving secured a professional tryout for forward Steven Lorentz, a Stanley Cup champion with the Florida Panthers in the previous season. Lorentz brings valuable experience, having played 230 NHL games and accumulated 43 points with teams like the Carolina Hurricanes, San Jose Sharks, and Panthers. His role will be to compete for a position in the Maple Leafs’ bottom-six forward group during training camp. citeturn0search2
Furthermore, Treliving extended a two-year contract to forward Bobby McMann, aiming to provide stability to the team’s bottom-six forwards. McMann has contributed 10 goals and 8 assists in 40 games this season, aligning with Treliving’s goal of fostering consistency within the roster. citeturn0search6
