The Toronto Maple Leafs, under Craig Berube, have finally hired the last assistant coach for the team, hiring Marc Savard.

Following extensive deliberation and several interviews, the Toronto Maple Leafs have formally decided to sign Marc Savard. Guy Boucher was removed of his coaching duties by the Maple Leafs last week, which led to this decision.

In an effort to ultimately overcome their postseason difficulties, the Maple Leafs have decided to entirely restructure their coaching staff. Savard will oversee the team's power play, a responsibility he will carry over from his previous season with the Calgary Flames, so this hiring is a solid move.

This afternoon, the Leafs announced the news on their X account.
