NHL insider Darren Dreger recently revealed on an interview with a TSN radio show that former New York Islanders head coach Lane Lambert could be joining Craig Berube's staff with the Maple Leafs this season.

Dreger was on TSN1050's FirstUp where they were discussing possible moves to the Leafs coaching staff after Craig Berube was brought in to replace Sheldon Keefe. After all, we should not expect Berube to just rely on Keefe's old crew. He specifically mentioned Lambert as a possible addition to be a forwards specialist with the team.

"I've heard that Lane Lambert, formerly of the New York Islanders, could join the Toronto Maple Leafs. I would assume that he would manage the forwards under the guidance of Berube."

This lines up with other recent rumors surrounding the Leafs. Fellow insider Elliotte Friedman reported a couple of days ago on 32 thoughts that Lane Lambert was connected to the Leafs in some form, although he was a lot less specific with the details. That being said, it is encouraging that multiple sources are now reporting the same thing.

Elliotte Friedman on 32 TP: «Some of the names that I have heard that have been kind of connected a bit to Toronto have been Brad Lauer who mutually left Winnipeg & I heard Lane Lambert's name out there too Toronto, knowing them, they're casting a wide net.»
