They might be seeking out a new front office.
And if they're going to do that, like if the Leafs are going to start from the top,
And I'll believe it when I see it, but it wouldn't surprise anyone at this point.
I think it's safe to say everything is on the table with this team.
If they get rid of everyone, then you've got to start with the president and the GM before you can hire the coach, right?
Like, you've got to get the right person in there.
So I guess what I'm saying is if you're Keith Pelley, and let's say you've made your decision.
Let's say you've made your decision that Tree Living's gone or you're bringing in someone above him that's going to make the ultimate call.
You better have that person ready quickly because Cassidy, if he wants to coach next year, won't be out of a job for long.
And DeBoer likely won't be out of a job for long.
That doesn't mean you have to go after those guys.
Maybe there's other young coaches that are up and coming that you want to find the next John Cooper.
You want to find the next guy who's an assistant coach somewhere or a coach in the minors that you feel can really pop.

Really?
