Leafs reach verbal agreement with Craig Berube according to source

Toronto Maple Leafs were kicked out of the playoffs early yet again, and it was finally time for a change. Today, it's head coach Sheldon Keefe's turn to face the music, as he will let go. Yet it seems like the organization has already found his replacement.

Reports are the Leafs already have their sights set on a new bench boss. According to a source close to the organization, they've even got a verbal agreement in place with their next coach.





The source claims they know someone who knows Craig Berube, and apparently, he's the top pick for the job by General Manager Brad Treliving. Yet you never know with these rumors, especially when it's a friend from a friend.



However, Berube did lead the St. Louis Blues to a Stanley Cup win in 2019. Still, some aren't convinced he's the right fit for the Leafs. They want someone tough and no-nonsense behind the bench.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it all plays out. Yet if this report is on the money, we'll be seeing a new face behind the bench for the Maple Leafs soon.
