MAJOR: Sheldon Keefe's Status in Toronto Has Been Confirmed
Uncertainty surrounded Sheldon Keefe recently but it appears we now have an answer on his future in Toronto.
Keefe's Future Confirmed
When the Leafs hired Brad Treliving, one of the first questions was if he would part ways with Sheldon Keefe or keep him around. Now, it appears that we have an answer to this question.
Treliving and Keefe have begun interviewing candidates to replace Spencer Carbery which means Treliving has told Keefe that he is the coach at least for the start of next year.
"Brad Treliving and Sheldon Keefe are well into interviewing candidates to replace for Leafs assistant coach Spencer Carbery. Treliving and Keefe spent time getting to know each another as soon as Treliving was hired as GM. Keefe has not been extended yet however those discussions are expected to happen this summer." - Darren Dreger
If Keefe were to be fired before the start of the 2023-24 season, it would be quite surprising so at least for now, we can expect the Leafs to start the season with Keefe.
Depending on how next year goes, we could watch the Leafs extend Keefe or cut him off early.
