Toronto Maple Leafs: Sheldon Keefe Is Coaching For His Job This Year
Sheldon Keefe only has one-year remaining on his contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs, which means he’s coaching for his job right now.
When the Toronto Maple Leafs season ended last year, Sheldon Keefe seemed like the logical person to be fired, yet it was Kyle Dubas who left the organization. The idea of firing Keefe didn’t mean that he did a terrible job as the coach, but that felt like the easiest fix.
Kyle Dubas did a fantastic job acquiring talent and putting the best team forward, yet this roster only won one playoff round. It was one more than they’d won in 19 years, so it was an accomplishment, but the Leafs still fell short of the ultimate goal: winning a Stanley Cup.
