I'd give the captaincy to Morgan Rielly. Cares about team and the crest.

The best teams in the league are usually in playoff mode for a few weeks prior. Never with the Leafs. It seems they get surprised by the physicality and the grind of each game. Can’t see it ever changing with the current core as it stands. If JT gets cut loose as captain then it will be Matthews so the leadership will never really change the way the team plays. So that may mean a different coach. If the Leafs are one and done again this season I’m pretty sure Keefe gets the punt. If Keefe gets the punt I won’t shed a tear. This team needs a different direction and if the players don’t get it maybe a new coach can convey the message. Although I doubt it. I doubt it as well but that will be the first order of business. Tocchet turned around the Canucks, Torts has done well in Philly and Bowness has the Jets cooking so firing Keefe makes sense. Not sure Boucher should replace him unless Keefe gets fired before seasons end. Never a fan of recycled old coaches but in this case it might be what’s needed.

I'd push for Rod BrindAmour. Although I'm sure Carolina will pay him. Wonder if Berube would work? Think Boudreau may be too Hollywood nowadays

No to Boudreau… too nice. Berube? Maybe. Lindy Ruff is out there?
