NHL News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Leafs Rush GM Hire, Top Coaches Vanishing. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 6, Toronto Maple Leafs got a hustle if they want a new coach, starting with picking a general manager quick. They fire Bradch for living with eight games left in the regular season, thinking they jumped ahead. But the markets moving fast, like the New York Islanders just snagged Peter de Bois yesterday to replace Patrick Roy. Meanwhile, Vegas brought in John Torturella last week to swap out Bruce Cassidy. Now the top free coaches are thinning out, leaving guys like Cassidy, Roy, and Peter Labio Lett as prime targets. Everyone knows, these hires can happen anytime, even with games still on. Fans and insiders see the pressure building since the Leafs got knocked out of playoffs early. They're eyeing a shift from Craig Barubi, but other squads like the New Jersey Devils and Winnipeg Jets might pounce too. Cassidy's got a Stanley Cup from Vegas in 2023 and nine straight playoff runs, Roy's a Hall of Famer who got the Islanders contending. Again, Labio Lett's seventh in all-time wins. Reports say big changes are coming, but first they got to map out the future win now, or
retool for a high draft pick. Season wraps in under two weeks, and by then Cassidy can land in Edmonton or Labio Lett in Detroit. Least better lock in that GM in direction soon, or they might roll into next year with Barubi's still calling shots. From your team, powered by AI, this is NHL News Today, I'm Corey with The Story.
