The Toronto Maple Leafs, once again ousted early from the playoffs, have decided it's time for a change at the top. Today, Head Coach Sheldon Keefe was dismissed, and it looks like the Leafs didn't waste any time lining up his successor.
Rumors are swirling that Craig Berube, known for guiding the St. Louis Blues to a Stanley Cup victory in 2019, is the frontrunner for the position. These rumors come second-hand through connections claiming to be close to Berube, so while intriguing, they're to be taken with a grain of salt.
Critics wonder if Berube's tough, no-nonsense approach is what the Leafs need. It's all still up in the air, but if this report holds true, we might soon see Berube behind the Maple Leafs' bench, bringing a new direction to the team.
