Maple Leafs Offseason Game Plan, Part 5: The Coaching Staff

To date, we have discussed:

The Leafs have made a few predictable moves that we discussed in previous editions: adding more draft picks, signing unqualified restricted free agents to cheap prove-it contracts (Nicolas Aube-Kubel and Ilya Samsonov were two players we mentioned specifically), and choosing not to trade any of their top players (the assumption being there weren’t deals on the table that would’ve improved the team). While they didn’t make one move of note to upgrade the top of the roster, they did add Calle Jarnkrok on a four-year contract – even if it’s for a relatively small AAV – presumably because they think he can be more than simply a decent depth option (which is quite the bet at 31 years old).
