Look like a couple good coaching moves so far. The cast behind Keefe is familiar.

Fun fact: AJ McLean is his son. AJ McLean was Keefe's main man in SSM and on the Marlies, and McLean is still an assistant with the Marlies.
So there is a built in relationship there already.

So he is taking over Brewer, and Malhotra is taking over McFarland.
I imagine he will have a major input on the PP and offensive strategies. The structure is the same as last year, but the responsibilities of the new assistants will be completely different than their predecessors.

Experienced NHL Jack Adams winning head coach.
Probably came in at a decent price ... not that that matters.
Slow off-season continues.

Well, slow offseason is bit of a misnomer considering the Cup hasn't even been decided yet, and, we've already traded a decent player for a 1st Rounder and a potential regular for next year.
I think Leafs will be active and in "win now" mode. They have to use their organizational wealth to their advantage in uncertain times. Every advantage, especially in a Cap environment must be exploited.
This slow off-season has the potential to be the most bizarre one in decades. Literally almost every player could be available from any team.
You will see dozens of RFA's without a QO. It's gonna be crazy.
Sam Kim was thought to be Brewer’s replacement. Seems like they split up Brewer’s duties.
Kim as the video coach, while MacLean doing the eye in the sky part of it

oh well, typical Dubas screwing up our salary cap situation!
I like it. Mainly because of that time he called a timeout vs Montreal at the end of the game, and then Therrien lost his shit

Yes, there are going to be teams wanting cash relief.
Rangers top Forbes' list of most valuable NHL teams
We have already heard talk of Florida being on a very tight leash.
I think the Coyotes could appreciate paying 1 million to Andersen, rather than 3.5 to Kuemper. Maybe they get offered more elsewhere, but at least with Andersen they'd have a starter.

Interesting hire. Didn't see this one coming. Had a feeling another assistant was coming. Like it though.
