You know Berube didn't have a guy as good as Nylander or Matthews on his 2019 Blues team but he also had Parayko, Pietrangelo, Dunn, and JBo on defence and he made good use of them.

Defense wins championships, can't have half your cap allocated to four forwards, one of which is past his prime and another who's a regular season perimeter player.

Also despite that cap allocation to four forwards, Leafs can't dominate with one line like Landeskog/MacKinnon/Rantanen could.
 
Give Keefe this goaltending and the team still looks about the same. Iffy to come out of the 1st round. This team needed a major core shakeup, along with the coaching change. So if Berube sitting at the podium after another 1st round exit this spring, what exactly did he accomplish that's different from Keefe? Does he have any answers?
