Four games left, and they missed the playoffs, and they got a hell of a player there, but they wanted their coach.

And that's Patrick Waugh getting let go.

Craig Berube gets let go.

He won a cup.

Patrick Waugh is a legendary coach and done a great job.

This is the one thing I would say is, and I'm being respectful here, is it a desirable spot right now with where the organization at is for a legacy coach?

Or is it better for a younger, up-and-coming Dan Mews, Manny Malhotra type of guy, a first time at it where you've got a different team?

Because I don't know how many legacy coaches, certainly you want the money, you want the Toronto market.

You're not eight pieces away.

Don't you think the coach, first and foremost, if I signed here, don't you think they would be like, I want a long-term deal?

Because there might be a couple years of turning things around.

They're trying to make the playoffs.

You're right.

So how many moves away?

Like, here's the other thing.

You're in the Atlantic.

You're not in the Pacific.

So who are you knocking out?

That's the thing.

And just so you know, Florida's getting healthy, and Detroit's going to try and do exactly what the Leafs are doing in the offseason.
