I liked @Sid_Seixeiro's take on the Leafs’ coaching search because I honestly haven’t heard anybody frame it this way before.
"I know things haven't been going well, they're still the DAMN Toronto Maple Leafs.."
“You don’t have to beg..”
Fair point.
I don't see a single reason why you can't have all of Groulx, Quillan and Haymes in the bottom 6 next season. Leafs need to focus all their efforts on the top 6 and top 4.
