This is…surprising. Thought Tre would see how he did this season and go from there. He must be very well liked within the organization.

Not sure he’s earned that to be honest, but it’s not like this guarantees he sticks around if things go south. Whatever.

They were never going to go into the season with him only having one year left. And MLSE can easily pay two coaches at a time if it comes to it
brunoclement
Yeah this is fine. Its not like we have coaching cap constraints if it doesnt work out. Didnt we just stop payjng babcock lol.

Keefe won Tre and Shanny over, enough said

With no Kerfoot or Holl let’s see how he coaches now

I’m interested to see Dubasless Keefe’s coaching. That pair were so joined at the hip, I wonder how much of Keefe’s strategy was Dubas’s strategy.

This is either going to age very well or very poorly. What’s done is done so I’m just gonna be optimistic and hope for the best
leafscitypackersfan
Weird how that even as Dubas was let go, things stay the exact same
DangleCellySave
Ready to see us get out coached in the playoffs again?

Meh.

Fucking terrible doesn’t make any sense

Not surprising whatsoever, even if they end up firing him next offseason they weren’t going to let him go into the season with one year left on his contract.

From what I’ve heard the players like Keefe and management likes the control he has on the room.

Mark my words. Dubas was holding Keefe back from showing his true unhinged personality.
ThaFamousGrouse
Meh so what. If it doesn’t work you can him, it’s just money and not against the cap. Nothing to see here.

If you told me Dubas was gone and Keefe got an extension at the beginning of the offseason I’d call you an idiot.
Keefe has gotten outcoached every playoff series. The Leafs fired Babcock with like 4 years left on the deal so that gives me hope if Keefe continues to be stubborn he will be gone as well.

I was starting to wonder if what Dubas wanted and what Keefe wanted were different things. If Treliving is confident in giving a multi year extension they must have similar visions.
Compactsea
I really really hope Leafs management knows what they’re doing. Keefe deserved to be fired last playoffs with how pathetic he ran his lines and strategy.

Keefe didn’t have set lines going jnto the playoffs last year.
Keefes decisions during the playoffs had me raging.
What the fuck is this??? Shanny needs to go.
JRocleafs
Honestly to me this is a sign that Keefe didn’t get the full autonomy of the team that he wanted and was pressured by Dubas into certain personnel, play style, and personality. I can’t see how Treliving would sign him to an extension if his last 3 seasons are simply going to be repeated.
I could be wrong, but I’m excited to see what Keefe has in store for next season and what will change from this season. I have an inkling that he won’t be apologizing for being harsh to his players.

I watched this dude get out coached in every playoff series and he’s back??

What a terrible day to be literate

He shouldn’t even be the coach this year let alone an extension
