I believe that’s the MacLean he’s referring to.
AJ has been Keefe’s right hand man since the Soo.
It’s been a forgone conclusion that he’d be with Keefe next year.
Well if MacFarland decided to stay on as Assistant Coach, MacLean would not have been with Keefe next year, so I do not know what you mean by "forgone conclusion". Just like Andrew Brewer did not leave as soon as Babcock left, even though he was brought along with him from Detroit and Team Canada.
There is absolutely not evidence of the Leafs forcing MacFarland out, and evidence that he chose to leave on his own.
