A new coach deserves a try in the playoffs with the exact same Leafs core next season imo

I do think the Leafs would be better off hiring someone like Dean Evason. He has good player management, has a system that I think would benefit the existing squad, and is decent at getting a team to over achieve. So he’d lose in the second round of the playoffs instead.

Evason is probably the best of the available options, but if I were the Leafs the first thing I'd have done (before firing Keefe) was call Pittsburgh and see if arrangements could be made to bring in Sullivan.

Powershift posted:Has a coach ever gotten fired after 3 100+ point seasons? Dan Bylsma was fired after what if not for the lockout would have been five straight 100+ point seasons. Fitting since he was the closest thing in recent history to Keefe. Speaking of which, apparently the Kraken have not yet officially hired Bylsma as their HC, I assume they're just waiting for the AHL playoffs to finish?

Not that I expect he'll need the help, but that goodbye video is also a pretty good marketing move to pitch himself to the teams looking for a HC.

Congrats to the Leafs. Now they can just run back the same roster and not make any changes. Gotta see what the new coach can do with them after all!

I do kinda believe that it’s possible for Keefe to reflect and change his tendencies in a way that he never would have staying with the Leafs. I won’t be surprised if he pops up coaching a team that doesn’t overcommit low in the d zone, that breaks out using the width of the ice with control and looks to exploit seams and behind the net plays to score, ie the opposite of everything he coached this team to do. Eric the Mauve posted:I've said it before but Keefe is a world class schmoozer and no doubt gives a knockout interview. He wouldn't have kept his job for He was the absolute perfect coach for a place like Toronto, just a suit full of platitudes and decorum who always missed his end of year targets, never changed and had no plan and no answers

Reading about Travis Green in an athletic article and it’s scary how much his coaching style sounds like “DJ Smith if he ran hard training camps and was kind of an rear end in a top hat.”

Ottawa's got good goaltending, right?

The Athletic mock has the Devils taking Konsta Helenius at #10 which would I think would be a pretty great pick (amazing underlyings in the Liiga, good production, made the men's WC team), so I'll get my hopes up until they deal the pick for an old goalie They've got Cole Eiserman going at #13 which is pretty interesting for a guy scoring at his pace, but even the advanced stuff has him as extremely one dimensional in a way we haven't seen from another top prospect like that in a while. quote:5. Montreal Canadiens: Cayden Lindstrom, C, Medicine Hat Tigers https://twitter.com/DavidSt_Louis/status/1788648235172520082 They've got Utah going with Zeev Buium and his nutty NCAA production. Honestly the top like 12-15 of this draft looks super strong

They definitely have more in the cookie jar up front with Fantilli, Johnson, Sillinger, Brindley, and the Russians (Chinakhov-Voronkov-Marchenko), but it never hurts to grab top-end centers. As Wheeler mentioned, a top four of Jiricek, Mateychuk, Werenski, and a bitchin', high-end defenseman could be hard to pass up. I'd say give me the defenseman as of now.
