Toronto Maple Leafs Closing In On A Major Coaching Change In Latest Rumor
The Toronto Maple Leafs are rumored to be on the verge of making a major coaching change.
Sheldon Keefe Appears To Be On His Way Out Of Toronto
The Toronto Maple Leafs have fallen short of expectations this season, and a significant factor appears to be head coach Sheldon Keefe, who received a new contract in the offseason from the recently appointed general manager, Brad Treliving.
Due to the team's underwhelming performance and questionable lineup choices, there's growing speculation among fans and media that Keefe's time behind the bench may be limited. The latest buzz from Hockey 24/7 on X suggests that a coaching change might be on the horizon, as the Leafs ownership, president, and GM are reportedly holding a meeting today to discuss the situation.
BREAKING NEWS: Leafs ownership, president, and GM are having a meeting this morning/early afternoon. Looks like a coaching change is coming. Stay tuned.
While it's important to take this information with caution, considering Hockey 24/7's reliability, the prevailing sentiment is that Keefe's job is at risk given the team's recent struggles. With mounting pressure from fans, media, and possibly within the organization, the potential firing of Sheldon Keefe could be imminent.
Notably, the Leafs have a former head coach, Guy Boucher, on the current coaching staff, providing a readily available replacement if a change is indeed in the works.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
