John Tavares shares his thoughts on Craig Berube's hiring
The Toronto Maple Leafs announced the hiring of Craig Berube recently and now captain John Tavares has shared his thoughts on the coaching move.
This offseason has been fast-paced for the Toronto Maple Leafs having moved on from Sheldon Keefe after their defeat against the Boston Bruins and subsequently hiring Craig Berube, formerly of the St. Louis Blues.
Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares has now commented on the coaching change.
"I don't know him at all, just connected with him via text early this morning. It's what I woke up to. Obviously very difficult to see 'Keefer' go, but part of the game at times, and for us as players, it's on us to do a better job. With Craig coming in, he's going to help us with that.
"I'm excited to work with him. He's got a tremendous pedigree. [Brad Treliving] sent a quick note out to myself as well, just about the excitement of bringing him in and how he can help our group. That process has already begun and we're looking forward to having him."
"As time goes on and Craig comes in the page turns and we're looking forward to what he brings and how he can help us get to where we want to get to and that's obviously reaching the ultimate goal. It's what our expectations are and what we want to deliver." - John Tavares

Berube's hiring brings in high expectations as he was able to win the Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues in 2019 and lead them from last in the NHL to champions. Hopefully, he can utilize his experience and take the Leafs to a place they have not been since 1967, Stanley Cup Champions.
