Craig Berube announced as 41st coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs have wasted no time getting their off-season going, and now they've officially landed their newest Head Coach, according to Frank Seravalli.
It's been rumoured for some time now, but after a long period of interviews and intriguing names, the Maple Leafs have found their man, as Craig Berube is set to be the newest Head Coach of the storied, Original Six franchise.
Expect an announcement soon.
Berube is considered the best coach on the market, as he took a struggling St. Louis Blues team to the playoffs in four of his six seasons, including helping the team to hoist the Stanley Cup. With the team needing a big time change after Sheldon Keefe's reign in Toronto, Berube is exactly the type of coach they need to push for playoff success, and with such a talented roster, he will get the best out of the team.
Now, they will shift their focus to the draft, the trade market and free agency to upgrade this roster, but it's safe to say that the off-season has got off to a fantastic start for the Maple Leafs.
