Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving has expressed disappointment with the franchise, and the reasons are pretty apparent at this point.
This offseason has been a difficult one for Brad Treliving, who had to start things off by getting rid of Mitch Marner in a sign-and-trade with the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
Since that time, Treliving has made a few moves, including trades for Matias Maccelli and Dakota Joshua. However, everyone he has brought in has been for the bottom six.
There isn't a single new player on the roster who could be a consistent top-line guy. This is a bit of an issue, and Treliving knows it.

In fact, according to Frank Seravalli, who was recently speaking to Bleacher Report, it was revealed that Treliving is disappointed right now.
The general manager wants to be aggressive, but he has yet to secure himself a top-six forward, and the clock is ticking.
I'd imagine that the Toronto Maple Leafs aren't done. If you think back to the summer and all the different names that have been moved, they've probably been in on or had conversations about 60-75% of those players. So I think it's been, in some ways, for Brad Treliving, a little bit of a disappointing summer because he wants to be so active and aggressive, but yet hasn't necessarily gotten anything [big] done.
We previously reported that something could happen within the next few weeks, as the beginning of August sees things pick up.
That said, there are no guarantees that Treliving will get what he wants. At the end of the day, the Leafs don't have many assets to actually trade.
Ultimately, things are not going to be easy for the Toronto Maple Leafs going forward, and Brad Treliving is going to have to figure things out.
He has a plan, but executing that plan is a lot easier said than done.
