Confirmed with Link: Craig Berube named the 32nd Coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs

[SI90]

Always appreciate your posts on the main boards.

Todd Rierden comes to mind as another guy who just wasn't HC material.

Great example! Similar to NFL coordinators. Some guys are great coordinators but aren’t good/great head coaches.

Lane Lambert hired as associate coach, we are compensating for having the softest team in the league by having the toughest coaching staff.

and only hiring coaches that have a Cup as a coach

More Max Domi (at a reasonable price) would be nice too!

There's not a chance he and Burt are walking to free agency at this point

What makes you so certain?

Domi I think he will resign at close to 4-4.5 million and Bertuzzi not sure but if team offers him 5.5- 6 million 4+ years we are out probably. Still need money to resign Liljegren+ Robertson as they probably will because be more useful then to trade them. Cost factor means Bertuzzi will be gone unless he takes a discount.

There's been a lot of media smoke about mutual interest about longer term extensions, and it's been confirmed that there's now ongoing talks.

Tre also extended guys like this all the time in Calgary.

It just seems like it'll be a big surprise if they don't at this point

I think he re-signs.

Especially with the friendship and chemistry with Matthews.

Spoiler: Here's what is not interesting to Berube

Thought this was on point and belong here.

 

[Gabriel426]

do you think Tavares can learn that lesson in just one summer ?

It takes time, but his time is up with the Leafs.

How can Domi’s camp even ask for 4-4.5mil. He was more productive in Dallas and played better and only got a 3mil/1 yr with the Leafs. 3mil/3yrs would be perfect

I wish you used a Tweet of someone who has played a sport in their lifetime and hasn't complained for the last 5 years like a whiny child, he is the least likable person on television.

Maurice also basically said nothing that Keefe didn't say before or even the players, they all said that the regular season is to prep for the playoffs.

...yup

It's starting to feel Burkey in Toronto again.

Talk is cheap. He ditched all of his "plans" when the team had a bad period. Remember when Nylander was going be a center? There's a million examples. The Leafs as a whole operated like this, not just Keefe.

Thank god.

Thank god.

Remember, the bright minds on this board said he was brought in to replace Keefe.

 

[Amadeus]

Maybe Marc Savard coming in. Don't really care too much TBH. Jay Woodcroft could be a good option as well.

In sports there's only two real options when you don't have buy in from the players.

1) You fire the coach and hire another to say the same thing in a different tone, turn of phrase.

2) Or you get rid of the players.

We did the first thing, and the second is probably on the menu. At this point, who cares if we get rid of Keefe and then some or all of Marner, Tavares, Rielly, Marner, Nylander, Matthews?

Poor guy, was set up to fail making him run a PP.

Another one of Shanny’s stupid decisions.

 

[Buds17]

Boucher running the PP here really felt like a case of square peg, round hole.
