Leafs miss out on coaching candidate, should they act quicker for President & GM?

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

The Toronto Maple Leafs risk missing top coaching talent as Peter DeBoer heads to the New York Islanders. Can Keith Pelley and the front office act fast enough to get their front office in order, or will more prime candidates slip away? Mike DiStefano and Dave Morassutti dissect the Leafs’ precarious front office situation, the urgency around the GM and head coach hires, and consider rising names like Manny Malhotra for the bench boss role. The hosts break down Toronto’s wild OT loss to the LA Kings. They also touch on the impact of analytics on the GM hunt and how much analytics is steering them in a particular direction.   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
