Speculation: Now that Keefe is gone what happens to the rest of the staff?

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Now that Sheldon Keefe is gone and it looks like Craig Berube is the favorite to be the replacement I have to wonder what happens to the rest of the staff? do they all stay? or do the Leafs completely clean house? I have a feeling they are going to stay but I would clean house, with the exception of Mike Van Ryn because he is was on Berube staff when they won a championship in St Louis.

As unrealistic as it is I'd pay Todd Mcllenan all the money to come be an assistant that one is unrealistic I know but I'd do it because he's got a ring with Detroit.

I'd also target Dan Dan Byalsma because he's got a ring with Pittsburgh

You should be noticing a theme here, and that is that every hiring has 1 thing in common.

They all have championships they have all won rings, and that's what I want, I want this team to bring in as many people that have won championships as possible.

It's also why I would call Pittsburgh about Reilly Smith and Noel Accari.

Keith Pelley sat up on the podium at the press conference and he said they aren't here to sell Jerseys, They are here to win championships.

If that's true It's time to start bringing in people that have won.

Was Keefe close enough to any of them that he would want to take one or two with him to wherever he coaches next ?

I bet the MLSE board gets updates on Jersey sales.

The new coach will likely bring staff.

I’d also add a staff psychologist for this group. The reasons are numerous.

Nobody cares what happens to the rest of the staff.

All the coaches are crap. Boucher was useless. Is Malhotra still on the team?

I don't even know who the other assistant coaches are.

None of them are any good. If they were the Leafs would still be playing. So far as I'm concerned everyone from Shanahan on down, with the exception of Matthews, can pound pavement.

That includes all those assistant GM's too.

Can anybody name something these guys have actually accomplished as a functioning member of this team's front office? Something tangible that has put them closer to contention? What exactly do they need all these people for anyways?

I can't think of a single reason why anyone should care if they were all let go tomorrow.

So you don't care about the topic, but you commented on the topic, so that means you DO care about the topic because if you didn't you wouldn't have commented on the topic.

I don't disagree that most of the coaching Staff is worthless, I'm not sure about Boucher he's a defense first coach so he probably should be coaching the PK not the PP.

The rest can f*** off into the sun.

I'm not even against replacing Boucher I'm just not sure he was ever put in the right role.

I didn't say I didn't care about the topic.

I said I didn't care what happened to the subject of the topic. There's a difference. Other than wanting to see all these losers replaced by someone competent I'm not too concerned what happens to all these minor role players in the front office.

For the most part they're pretty inconsequential anyways.

 

[TMLife17]

Honesty everyone from the owners right down to the parking lot attendants can f*** off and I wouldn’t bat an eye. Peace out y’all

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I just assumed when you fired a coach after the season the rest of his staff get flushed with him.

That's the way it usually works.

 

[Racer88]

Special teams were a discrace, fire them all

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It is but so far only Keefe is gone

Since we don't know what they do on a day to day basis, this is a stupid question.

If they are inconsequential, why do you give a damn?

They need to hire efficiency consultants like in Office Space to see who truly is useless. I bet Guy Boucher's interview will go sort of like this:

 

[Buds17]

It is but so far only Keefe is gone

Boucher and Van Ryn probably weren't overly connected to Keefe since they were part of his coaching staff for just the one season. It's still within the realm of possibility that neither will have a place alongside the new head coach though.

If It's Berube I think Van Ryn stays because they won the cup together in St Louis

Van Ryn has history with Berube, probably why he hasn't been removed yet.

 

[Buds17]

Which makes sense and could also officially squeeze out Boucher since I agree with one of your previous posts about Boucher being better suited for PK coach.

 

[Fogelhund]

I would assume that assistant coaches, are partly the responsibility of the Head Coach, as far as decision making is concerned. That's probably part of the interview process, and once a Head Coach is hired, they'll probably make decisions on the assistants. Given the time of year it is, there really isn't any urgency to make decisions on the assistants... Head Coach hiring first...

 

[bax]

I think the new guy brings in his own staff. Why wouldn't he?

Van Ryn has history with Berube, probably why he hasn't been removed yet.

There will be chaos if he stays lol

 

[Clyde Brewer]

Hopefully fresh start for all. That PP was brutal.

I thought Boucher was known for his strict defensive systems, I didn't see that applied.

 

[Menzinger]

Boucher has strong ties to Shanny - he was even given a HC offer for the Leafs that was yanked away at the last minute when Babs agreed to sign.

He needs to be booted as far away from special teams as possible but I can see him sticking around for at least another season in some sort of a role

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I’d keep Sanford as goalie coach, I think he’s done a good job with what he’s had to work with. Everyone else can kick rocks.

I’d gladly take him as the Leafs’ coach if it meant he’d resign from his current job.

 

[The Shrike]

I think Willy would be livid if they hired a coach that spends more on hair care products than he does.
