Upon taking the reins as the general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Brad Treliving emphasized the need for a shift in team culture. He pointed out that the team's success shouldn't hinge solely on the performances of the "Core Four," signaling a departure from the mindset of previous leadership.
This contract, worth $1.35 million per season, underscores the Leafs' dedication to solidifying their lineup across the board, particularly in their bottom six, indicating a strategic pivot from the past era of constant lineup flux.
At 27, McMann has contributed significantly this season, tallying 10 goals and 8 assists over 40 games, showcasing the kind of depth performance Treliving values as he reshapes the team's future
