Sheldon Keefe is no stranger to tough decisions. They come with the job.
Having the ability to make an otherwise unpopular move is a big reason as to why Keefe will enter the Toronto Marlies’ upcoming slate of games this weekend, and every weekend to follow, as the winningest coach in franchise history.
The man has no problem pulling the trigger. Only now, with how much personnel shuffling the Leafs’ organization underwent over the past week, he’ll likely be forced to do so again. And soon.
Which is why today’s news does not really make a ton of sense.
