Friedman leaks the Leafs head coaching interview process
The insider Elliotte Friedman leaked the Toronto Maple Leafs' interview process as they look for a new head coach.
Brad Treliving, Keith Pelley and Brendan Shanahan decided to fire Sheldon Keefe as the Leafs' head coach.
Keefe, who's been behind the bench of the Leafs for the past five seasons, is under contract for the next two seasons, but as management revealed in their end-of-season press conference, a new voice was needed to guide the players to a Stanley Cup.
Elliotte Friedman shared some insights about the Leafs' interview process on his podcast 32 Thoughts.
He revealed that the Leafs already interviewed Craig Berube and are set to do the same with Todd McLellan today.
As for Sheldon Keefe, Friedman stated that the New Jersey Devils are really interested in him:
"Elliotte Friedman said that the Leafs started their interviews process on Saturday. Craig Berube was interviewed on the same day. Todd McLellan will be interviewed today. Friedman made it sound like the NJD are going in a different direction and are really interested in Sheldon Keefe."

With all the other interesting candidates available such as Gerard Gallant or Joel Quenneville, it's expected that other interviews will be held, but as of now, Berube and McLellan remain the fron-runners to land the job.
