Leafs continue hunt for head coach, ranking forwards with Cup finalists

from Locked On Leafs - Daily Podcast On The Toronto Maple Leafs · host Locked On Podcast Network

The Toronto Maple Leafs enter coaching uncertainty as it looks like the team's options remain a question mark. Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti react to Elliott Friedman’s latest NHL insights, tracking the Leafs’ evolving head coach search with names like Peter Laviolette, David Carle, and Manny Malhotra slipping off the board. The conversation exposes Toronto’s shifting strategies, from rumours of 55 potential interviews to speculation about internal options like Marlies coach John Gruden, all while the franchise’s urgency comes into question. The episode shifts to a high-octane Stanley Cup Final recap between the Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights, spotlighting explosive goal totals and unexpected heroes like Jordan Staal and Brett Howden. Mike and Dave compare top forwards from Toronto, Carolina, and Vegas, ranking Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner, and Sebastian Aho. FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.
