In the lead up to hiring Berube, this is what many fans and analysts had pointed too as his biggest asset, and to get clarity from a player he trusted dearly is a major positive. With talent like Auston Matthews and William Nylander, this team have the players to make a push, but the coaching in recent years has just been off come post-season time, and Berube appears to be the perfect fit.
Not only is Berube a former player, but he's proven as a Head Coach, with four playoff runs in six years for St. Louis, picking up a Stanley Cup along the way, and if the players buy in, this should be a very fun season in Toronto.
