Cup-Champion Craig Berube reveals he would love to replace Sheldon Keefe
This Stanley Cup Champion-winning head coach has just revealed that he would love the job of coaching the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in an interesting position with Head Coach Sheldon Keefe. He has done a lot to help the Leafs improve during his tenure as head coach, from record regular season point totals to leading the team to the second round for the first time in decades. However, the bar is high, as Leaf fans are desperate for a Stanley Cup. Second-round exits will no longer cut it in Leaf land.
It's safe to say that if the Leafs don't improve on last season's post-season performance, Keefe's position will be seriously at risk. Interestingly, there are already some coaches who would be keen to take over as head coach of the Leafs, and one of those is former Stanley Cup-winner Craig Berube.
Berube led the St. Louis Blues to a Stanley Cup in his first season with the club. He recently expressed his interest in coaching the Toronto Maple Leafs on a podcast.
Berube has the makings of a great coach and would be a refreshing face for the style of team that Brad Treliving is putting together. While Keefe is not out of a job by any means, it's comforting for leaf fans to know that there is a viable option potentially in the shadows.
Berube also mentioned in the podcast how he believes that the Leafs are in a good position to make a push this year, though his comments are limited to what he sees as an outsider.
We will have to see how this season plays out for the Leafs, though the pressure is increasingly mounting.
