Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe and former general manager Kyle Dubas had a very close working relationship, dating back to 2011 with the OHL’s Soo Greyhounds.
When Dubas was replaced by current Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving earlier this year, many pundits observed that this was Keefe’s chance to show he could succeed without the influence of his previous boss.
While the tandem of Treliving and Keefe are still in the early stages of figuring out how to work best together, there are actions that clearly need immediate attention.
The Toronto Maple Leafs mediocre start to the season has demonstrated that more than just a minor tweak is required to get the team running on all cylinders.
