A Maple Leafs writer noted that Yeo could be a candidate for an assistant coaching position in Toronto. Given his past relationship with Berube, it's not surprising he's being considered for the role. While it's unclear if this is the job Yeo was seeking, it wouldn't be surprising to see him join Berube's staff for the 2024-25 season.
