16 Head Coaches for the Toronto Maple Leafs to Consider Hiring
By James Tanner
Bruce Boudreau
Bruce Boudreau is another ex-Leafs player who is up for the job. Boudreau is not seen as a favorite at this point, though I'm sure the Leafs will consider him.
The reason I think the Leafs should pick Boudreau is that he's the perfect guy for this situation because he's so likable.
In the NHL there are only three things that everyone agrees on:
- Wayne Gretzky is the best of all-time.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs are a joke.
- Bruce Boudreau is a nice guy.
That's it.
Boudreau's attitude and positive demeanor is basically the opposite of most NHL coaches, and I think the time is right for this kind of person to take the reins. Everyone is tense, upset, bored, frustrated and assigning blame.
Enter Bruce Boudreau. He woudl immediately calm everyone down. Everyone would be happy with the hire and, best of all, he is known to get the most out of his offensive players.
Boudreau is who the Leafs should have hired instead of Sheldon Keefe and he's who should take the job now.
