Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving held a media session, revealing that team changes are on the horizon following their playoff exit. He indicated the need for a shift in the team's 'DNA' but was vague about specifics. Treliving commented on Mitch Marner's uncertain future, emphasizing that the outcome depends on Marner's input as he enters free agency. Matthew Knies' contract situation is a priority, as he proved crucial in the regular season and playoffs.

Addressing Auston Matthews, Treliving acknowledged the impact of an undisclosed injury on his performance despite the captain's contributions. The goaltending duo of Anthony Stolarz and Joseph Woll was praised for their solid performance during the season. However, Treliving recognized the need for improvement, especially on the offensive front from defensemen, as the Leafs seek to build towards playoff success.
