Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving expects veteran winger Max Pacioretty, who will attend Toronto's training camp on a pro tryout, to be on the roster when the regular season begins.
Sep 12, 2024 at 07:41 PM ET, who will attend Toronto's training camp on a pro tryout, to be on the roster when the regular season begins.
"He feels that he's had a couple of years here, two and a half years, where he really hasn't had an opportunity to train," Treliving noted. "It's been rehabbing. He came back last year and jumped in sort of halfway through the season and at the end of the year felt he wasn't where he wanted to be physically."
"Sometimes we want to write everybody off once they hit 30," Treliving, 55, said with a chuckle."I must have been written off a long time ago. But we'll see. The encouraging thing with Max is he keeps himself in really good condition. He's had time to heal. Those are significant injuries that he's gone through and he's put a lot of time into getting himself healthy."Pacioretty's addition will make it tougher for Toronto's younger players to earn spots.
Robertson now requires waivers to be sent down and will be playing for a new coach in Craig Berube. "I like Nick," Treliving said."He shoots it in the net. But you gotta do other things too. You gotta round out your game. You've got to be a complete player." Easton Cowan"He's a competitive kid," said Treliving."He's had a great summer. He's had a short summer. He played late and started early with the Canadian junior team camp."
Cowan is taking part in rookie camp this week, which will conclude with a pair of games against Canadiens prospects at the Bell Centre over the weekend. When free agency opened, TSN's hockey insiders reported that the Leafs planned to sign Jani Hakanpaa to a two-year deal. When he spoke with the media on Canada Day, Treliving himself brought up the 6-foot-7 defenceman when asked about the new additions.
