Toronto Maple Leafs<\/a> general manager Brad Treliving has weighed in on the recent conversation surrounding his team\u2019s former star winger Mitch Marner.<\/p>\n

Caught up with Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving following Mitch Marner’s revelation in an interview with TSN’s @markhmasters<\/a> last week that he was concerned for his family’s safety after his home address leaked online last spring. More coming @Sportsnet<\/a>, but here are\u2026<\/p>\n

Marner had made comments last week during an interview with TSN reporter Mark Masters about how he was concerned about his family\u2019s safety following the Maple Leafs\u2019 second round series loss to the Florida Panthers<\/a>. Sportsnet columnist Eric Engels caught up with Treliving this week about those comments.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn our business, your no. 1 priority is looking after your players, and I think we do a really good job of it. I don\u2019t have any concerns that we don\u2019t do everything humanly possible to make sure that they\u2019re looked after, but in today\u2019s world, you never take anything not seriously. In today\u2019s world\u2014and it can go for Toronto, it can go for any market with social media\u2014the lion\u2019s share of people can have good, honest discourse but there\u2019s always the ones that cross the line. It\u2019s unfortunate, but we always take every precaution necessary to make sure our guys are looked after.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marner had reportedly hired a security team to address his concerns for his family\u2019s safety after some Leafs\u2019 fans response on social media to the team\u2019s disappointing playoff exit. Marner and his wife Stephanie welcomed their first child Miles into the world just before the start of the Leafs\u2019 series against the Panthers, so there was extra concern considering that the family was entering a new chapter of their life.<\/p>\n

Following the Leafs\u2019 playoff loss, the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> had acquired for Marner\u2019s signing rights after the winger had expressed an interest to explore the free agent market, with Toronto getting center Nicolas Roy in return. Marner then signed an eight-year contract with a $12 million cap hit, which ties with Dallas Stars<\/a> winger Mikko Rantanen as the most expensive contract in the league among wingers.<\/p>\n
