Given I think Sullivan seems to be staying put barring anything unforeseen, I'd be most supportive of Woodcroft or Keefe as the hire. All of the talk over the past week with Keefe has made me shift my mindset on him. Hearing positives about his defensive structure with the Leafs when they were almost a revolving door of defensive personnel has been especially big in me seeing him in a more positive light.
When you have the level of success that either of them had in the regular season but not the postseason, and are fairly young in the coaching position, you hope that they take something from their failures and implement it to their next role.
