The Vancouver Canucks fire coach Mike Yeo
The Vancouver Canucks just announced they have fired Mike Yeo from their coaching staff.
After a strong two seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, experienced coach Mike Yeo and the team have officially parted ways, reportedly due to Yeo's desire to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to fill out a new coaching staff under Craig Berube, and now a former coach has emerged as a potential fit.
Unsurprisingly, he's already been linked to new opportunities, especially with Craig Berube taking over as the boss behind the bench for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The two have history, serving on the Blues staff together before it was Yeo that was fired, leading to Berube taking over and leading the team to a Stanley Cup.
Now, the connection has been made, with a Maple Leafs writer expressing that Yeo could be a genuine candidate to once again be on the same staff as Craig Berube, this time in Toronto.
Yeo is another possible candidate for an assistant job in Toronto.
Berube and Yeo were on the Blues bench together in 2017-18 and part of 2018-19.

It's unclear if this is the job Yeo was looking for when he expressed his desire to leave Vancouver, but given his relationship with Berube, it wouldn't be a shock if he was on this staff when the 2024-25 season begins.
