Craig Berube was reportedly one of the most sought-after available coach across the NHL, and the Toronto Maple Leafs managed to land him.
The Leafs' general manager Brad Treliving even revealed in a press conference that he interviewed nine candidates for the coaching position, but it alway got back to Berube:
Berube obviously has a ton of experience in the NHL, both as a player and as a coach. He knows what it takes to win, having won the Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues in 2019.
In a recent interview, he revealed that "one of the main attractions" of working in Toronto was the core player group. Berube believes he can build on this moving forward and go all the way:
Coaches don't have the opportunity to work with superstars such as Auston Matthews and William Nylander every day. We can understand why it helped him make a decision.
