"What the Maple Leafs are planning to do with Craig Berube is yet to be determined, as the meeting in the coming days will likely touch upon where the two are at, and if Berube will remain as the Maple Leafs head coach next season."
"One line from Pierre LeBrun should stand out to Maple Leafs fans: "If I had to handicap it, I think John Chayka will be comfortable keeping Craig Berube as their head coach.""
"Chayka later added, "It's hard to find great coaches. He's a great coach. I was lucky enough to work with Rick Tocchet in Arizona. Obviously, there's a deep friendship there, and I think they share notes and ideas on things, so I'm not starting from zero, and I think Craig's a really, really good coach.""
"If that is the case, Berube will remain as head coach, simply due to the fact that in his first season with the team, they won the Atlantic Division for the first time since 1999-2000, and when on there furthest playoff run in the Auston Matthews, going to the second round game seven."
John Chayka is scheduled to meet with head coach Craig Berube in the coming days. The meeting is expected to cover their current situation and whether Berube will remain behind the Maple Leafs bench next season. An NHL insider suggests Chayka will be comfortable keeping Berube. Management views the most recent season as an anomaly rather than a true reflection of the team. Berube’s first season included winning the Atlantic Division for the first time since 1999-2000 and reaching the second round, including a game seven. Chayka has previously indicated he is willing to keep Berube, praising him as a great coach and noting experience and shared ideas.
