Sheldon Keefe out in Toronto

[Beerz]

Donnie Granato incoming

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Well at most theres only one year left as JTs contract is up.

But I think Marner is out this summer anyways.

Yep, i think thats when youll start to see positve change on the roster

I think they prob lose the marner trade no matter what, but its not about winning/losing its about getting the right fits

 

[BayStBullies]

First Babcock was the problem, then Keefe. Ever think it’s the Sore Four? Nah, couldn’t be!

There is more than one problem.

 

[MOGlLNY]

Gotta think Berube is already pretty wrapped up

 

[llamateizer]

Martin St-louis is now ranked 6th and was hired 27 months ago!!!
Tourigny (2021)
Brind'Amour (2018)
Bednar (2016)
Sullivan (2015)
Cooper (2013)


edit: 27 not 21 months
edit2: Tourigny in

Craig Berube incoming

Tortz would be funnier, but he has a job

 

[CycloneSweep]

I liked Keefe alright, said some silly things every now and then but I think he was a decent coach. Always easiest to change a coach but you have to think more is coming for this team.

I don’t think he was the problem but he wasn’t the solution either.
This can’t be the only thing Toronto does(it won’t be) but it’s a start.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Not really a shocker. I thought I saw a blurb that said Berube will be heavily considered?

 

[WhataKnight]

I feel bad for Keefe. I don’t think he’s a bad coach. He should land well, though.

MLSE has gotta move on from Shanahan and Marner, though. Those two feel like the greater hindrances.

 

[LOFIN]

Literally WTF is Keefe supposed to have done differently? Who I am kidding, this is prob on the level of a mercy killing for him.

Fix the powerplay.

 

[LudwigVonKarlsson]

Step right up Gallant/Berube.

 

[Idiot Stick]

Guy Boucher takin his place?

 

[Mosby]

Relax, breathe, and have fun with this thing.

 

[Voight]

You knew this was coming between the lack of playoff success and Treliving inheriting him.

 

[Svechhammer]

In times like this, please spare a moment to think of the HFB servers. May their death be swift

 

[hamzarocks]

Deserved but he isnt the only 1

Dubas, Keefe, Shanny should have been fired last year together

Marner & Nylander dealt at 2023 draft and Matthews too if he wasnt willing to committ 8 years with 3 years being a retool period

 

[TLEH]

Don't think its really Keefe's fault for a lot, but they just wanted a new voice. I assume they'll chase Berube.

Shanny should be done as well.

 

[Empoleon8771]

It was a given that Keefe had to be fired. The lack of success in the playoffs made it inexcusable to keep him. He’s a decent coach but it was clearly time to move on.

At the same time, the Leafs are probably just going to fire him and do nothing else, which isn’t going to solve their issues whatsoever. They’re absolutely going to scapegoat him and maybe Marner while ignoring the cancer at the top of the organization.

 

[Tuggy]

Had to be done.

It's not all his fault, but he's certainly partially to blame.

 

[tucker3434]

They don’t have the depth to win in the postseason, but sure, fire the coach. That’ll fix it.

 

[Voight]

First Babcock was the problem, then Keefe. Ever think it’s the Sore Four? Nah, couldn’t be!

Sens core have played how many playoff games again?

 

[malcb33]

This was the easiest answer, but will it be the only big change?

It seems many are calling to trade Marner and shake up the core, but I have a feeling Keefe’s departure is the only core change.

Of course the Leafs have a lot of pending UFA’s and have room to shape things through free agency too.

 

[Voight]

Tortz would be funnier, but he has a job

I honestly think Toronto would've done very well with Torts.

 

[phillyb]

Unsurprising, but surely not the problem in Toronto. Very excited to watch the TOR drama play out this offseason.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Fix the powerplay.

Was Boucher a Treliving/Shanahan hire or a Keefe one?
