The Toronto Maple Leafs are in a state of flux following the firing of general manager Brad Treliving. The team is expected to reassess head coach Craig Berube's future after a season that saw them finish with a 52-26-4 record but exit the playoffs in the second round. This year, they missed the playoffs entirely for the first time in a decade, prompting speculation about Berube's job security. NHL analyst Darren Dreger noted that CEO Keith Pelley has allowed the new management to decide Berube's fate, indicating that he will finish the season before any decisions are made. Dreger expressed doubt that renowned coach Bruce Cassidy, recently dismissed by the Vegas Golden Knights, would prioritize the Maple Leafs as a coaching option, given their current instability and the uncertainty surrounding key players like Auston Matthews. Berube has reportedly been frustrated with the team's performance and roster changes, particularly after losing star player Mitch Marner to the Golden Knights last summer. With the possibility of a soft reboot for the team, names like Patrick Roy are also emerging as potential candidates for the head coaching position.
