Marek: “Sheldon Keefe out. Who are the leading candidates? Do you know if there is a preferred candidate that the Maple Leafs have their eyes on, Brad Treliving etc?

Friedman: “I, look, I think there’s gonna be a lot of, a lot of this is gonna go around Craig Berube and the way that Treliving thinks about hockey, you would think that Berube would kind of fit that.

NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs – Goaltending, Defense, Marner and Tavares

It is not Brad Treliving’s way to just hand the job to somebody. I can always be surprised, but I think, I expect that unless he feels that there’s somebody who’s his guy, who he’s not going to get unless he just hands them the job.”

Marek: “Right.”

Friedman: “I would expect he’s going to go through a process. And I think he’s going to talk to people like Berube. I wouldn’t be surprised if he interviews Todd McLellan. You know, someone reminded me this morning that you know, we saw a lot of Jay Woodcroft and they wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted to talk to him, either.

I think I’m like a lot of people and thinking that if I was doing, if I was wagering, I’d have Berube at the top of the list. But it’s not like Treliving to rush into a person unless circumstances forced him to do so. And we should mention that that could happen here.

You know, like there’s a bunch of openings right now. The New Jersey one I think is pretty coveted by people. I think there’s people who that think that New Jersey is on the way up and Berube is a very serious contender for that job.

But I would prop this too, and I heard it’s possible McLellan might get a second interview there.

NHL Rumors: Oh Toronto … What to do? What to do?

So I mean, like, I think it probably comes down to a couple of things. He probably wants to do a few different interviews, but it also could come down to who he thinks he might lose someone too.
