Former Oilers head coach Jay Woodcroft is rumored to be among the candidates being considered.
In addition to the coaching search, the Maple Leafs’ focus is also on the future of their star player, Auston Matthews. Management plans to meet with Matthews and his agent, Judd Moldaver, in Arizona soon. Matthews’ desire to win in Toronto and his commitment to the team are expected to be key discussion points. While his stance is reportedly to stay and contend, both parties acknowledge that a change in direction could lead to different decisions.
