think they tried to get Treliving back after firing Sutter, fwiw
The Leafs have a coach under contract. I would assume that Keefe will be behind the bench at the start of the year, and will remain there until the next GM decides otherwise.
That said, I don't expect Keefe to be behind the bench when the playoffs start.
I call my take on this, "the Babcock theory"If he starts the season, he likely finishes the season. This group is probably too good to get a coach fired mid season at this point.
Idk, if they start like they did last year or the year before he's probably gone. If they keep him it would be with a short leash. Which, yeah, I would prefer they just cut bait immediately. But I wouldn't say him getting fired mid-season is impossible. This team has had some horrific stretches over the years, enough to get a coach fired.If he starts the season, he likely finishes the season. This group is probably too good to get a coach fired mid season at this point.
His regular season record speaks to this and why he's a hard fire. He may be a good coach for some players but enough is enough with the Leafs players. Need a new voice.If he starts the season, he likely finishes the season. This group is probably too good to get a coach fired mid season at this point.

O'Reilly, Schenn, Kerfoot and more: What we're hearing about the Maple Leafs' free agents
As we wait for the next Leafs GM to be named, here's what we're hearing about the Maple Leafs' free agents.theathletic.com
When the Leafs acquired Schenn at the trade deadline, there were very brief conversations about a possible extension on his two-year deal ($850,000 AAV).
Even though those conversations took place with the Dubas-led regime, you wonder if there’s still a road for him to return to Toronto.
Former Flames GM Brad Treliving is considered one of the frontrunners for the job and it’s believed Treliving is a fan of the defenceman and tried to acquire Schenn at multiple trade deadlines.
If Treliving ends up being the GM Shanahan hires, and if he is presented with the option to sign Schenn to an extension, there is at least some genuine familiarity with the player.
What kind of number would Schenn be looking for, though?
Schenn is 33. Before his last deal, he had been on three straight one-year contracts. He may be looking for something longer than a one-year deal at around $2 million per year.

fuck right the fuck off.
Almost like it?Its almost like , hey our buddy needs job so lets put his name out there as much as possible
He goes to the Pens and same with Kerfeet.What's the over/under in days until Edmonton signs Keefe after he's let go anyway? Presto?
