The Leafs GM is facing his first trade deadline in Toronto as a seller rather than a buyer.

The upcoming trade deadline will be completely unlike the first two of Brad Treliving’s tenure as general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In the midst of the most disappointing (and soon to be playoff-less) Leafs season in more than a decade, his team will unquestionably be selling — not buying, as in the past — ahead of Friday’s deadline.

What impact, if any, will his execution of those trade(s) have on his future as GM? In other words, could it save his job? Or is his job somehow safe already?
