The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the hunt for a new head coach but what qualities should they be looking for? Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti look at what Brad Treliving had to say about the Leafs’ decision to move on from Sheldon Keefe and whether that offered any insight into what they want in their next coach. Mike and Dave go through the list of candidates that have been reported so far in Craig Berube and Todd McLellan and whether Joel Quenneville would be in the mix. Mike and Dave look into what makes Berube an intriguing option for the Leafs given what he brings. They end the show by looking at McLellan and why it might not be the right fit for Toronto, why Gerrard Gallant’s name hasn’t been linked to the Leafs and how Easton Cowan continues to dominate during the OHL playoffs.

The last time that I went to a Leaf game, Toronto was playing Detroit and I saw Red Kelly score from the red line.
Big Bird
Would be a perfect Coach
“Tonight’s Team brought to you
by the # 4 “ 😂
Why are ppl so high on Berube?? He won a cup with a team that he joined halfway through the season. A team that was playing well and not getting the justified results until they lucked into a 4th string golaie that went on a run the 2nd half! What did he do afterwards? Didnt even make the playoffs the last 2 years.
Please not either!
If the NHL is intending to blackball Quennville for life… they SHOULD come out and state it!
CEOhhhhhhhh
Babcock had elements of an old school coach, but he also has some sort of bizzarro douche thing about him as well.
Treliving left Calgary because he wanted to fire Sutter and the owner refused to let him.
Play hard or don't play. Nylander??? Where does that leave him. Or do we go back to Keefe's system of some guys need to play hard and some guys don't?
It seems unlikely that Brind'Amour leaves Carolina. And again, you think he is going to tolerate Nylander's lazy play?
They need a coach who fits the team they are expecting to have.
Bet365 still has berube at even money and Mclellan +110
Honest question here… Can someone tell me why Easton isn't playing for the leafs? Is it an age thing? Size? Why was he drafted then back to OHL
McLellen ….. is the perfect candidate to suit this GARBAGE TEAM!… BERUBE AND QUENNEVILLE stay away from this CRAP!
Adam Sandler for HEAD COACH!… add more comedy to this laughing stock!
What has Rob brindamore done he reminds me of keefs systems
Nickelback is for women
If this team cant handle a hard coach then this team will never win the cup.
"Players coach" is just a nice way of saying a sawft coach who lets his players walk all over him. You cant expect to go deep in the playoffs with a sawft coach.
Understanding Bell and Rogers…. Those organizations are filled with politicians. There is NO WONDER Shanahan fits right in. Beel and Rogers will not go get the EX CHICAGO coach….Rogers and Bell are political organizations that are risk averse….. that is why they lose so much
Revisionist history…. When Babcock and Tavares came in they were the greatest and saviours…. LEST WE FORGET….
Leafs missed the boat… Treliving should have fired Keefe last year and hired Patrick Roy….
id like to see sutter come in
