Sheldon Keefe was the 5th-longest tenured coach in the NHL. The top 5 now: 1. Jon Cooper (since March 2013) #GoBolts 2. Mike Sullivan (since December 2015) #LetsGoPens 3. Jared Bednar (since August 2016) #GoAvsGo 4. Rod Brind’Amour (since May 2018) #CauseChaos 5. Martin St. Louis (since February 2022) #GoHabsGo St. Louis as the 5th longest tenured coach is crazy to me. Feels like he was just hired! Lots of change these last couple years on the coaching front!

I honestly believe they could hire Scotty Bowman in his prime and the results will be the same. They need better roster management more than they do a good/great coach. Yeah changing the coach is always the easy move. I think they are a little bit stuck heading into next year. The general thought around Toronto is they can trade Marner for a boatload but with a NMC he basically decides when and where he goes (if at all) and the return is not going to be full value like Leafs fans think it is. I don't think Berube is really the right style of coach for them either so I hope they hire him haha. The Leafs should dangle Marner in front of Dubas. Straight up for Crosby. You’d need both players to sign off on it but Marner would have his best chance to get another fat deal out of Dubas and Sid could go show the Leafs how to win.

For those wondering, there’s been no change in Joel Quenneville’s status with the #NHL. Probably the best coaching option out there to get Toronto over the hump, based on his track record of success coaching elite talent. Needs to be reinstated for that to happen.
I don’t think he will be allowed back in till the lawsuits against Chicago are done, and how the lawsuits end . Not sure we see him again.

I really don’t understand how anyone with any sense could hire Dubas after the job he did in Toronto, his move in Pitts is to take on an odorous contract of Karlsson. I wish the Habs hired him .

Lol, perfect place for him.

I kind of feel bad for the dude. You can only get so much out of a team consisting of 4, or 5 great players and host of plumbers. Until they do something about how they've put that team together, it isn't going to change. And Matthews may go down as the greatest American born player to ever have played in the NHL and never win a Cup.

It’s crazy Shanny survives this mess year after year going on ten years now Yup, I just don't get it. If he hadn't handed out those $10M+ contracts like candy and was a better negotiator, he'd have one hell of a core to build around. Not all players are willing to take team friendly deals, but many are especially if it betters their chances at winning a ship.

I look at Tavares deal , and losing Hyman to the Oil as there biggest mistakes

And after seeing Hyman succeed in EDM, that must really sting too.

The best was when they ask Army if he thinks it's a suspension he's just like "I don't even know anymore"

I hear Sweeney is having a press conference today. Hopefully he sacks up and criticizes the league enough to welcome the fine.
