Several candidates emerge to join the Maple Leafs coaching staff

After hiring Craig Berube as their head coach the Toronto Maple Leafs made several changes to the rest of their coaching staff. This included assistant coaches Guy Boucher, Dean Chynoweth and Manny Malhotra all expected to be let go.

The only assistant expected back is Mike Van Ryn who has a history of coaching alongside Craig Berube.

With three assistant head coaches on their way out this means replacements are needed. A new report from Elliotte Friedman has suggested that former Winnipeg Jets assistant Brad Lauer and former New York Islanders head coach Lane Lambert are a pair of names to watch.

As of now the Toronto Maple Leafs have not made official moves with their coaching staff but announcements are expected in the coming days. Once the announcement is made we will pass all of the information along to you.
