Todd McLellan seen boarding a plane from Los Angeles to Toronto
The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the process of hiring a replacement for their former head coach Sheldon Keefe. Today free agent head coach Todd McLellan was seen traveling to Toronto.
The NHL offseason is a time filled with change and speculation. For the Toronto Maple Leafs that change and speculation has begun this week with their head coaching change. Less than a week after the firing of Sheldon Keefe a new candidate in Todd McLellan seems to be on his way to Toronto for an interview.

The early favorite to land the Toronto Maple Leafs head coaching job was Craig Berube. Now it seems the team is considering other options including former Los Angeles Kings head coach Todd McLellan.
"The two names to keep a look at are Craig Berube and Todd McLellan.. It looks like Berube is starting the interview process with the team"
@reporterchris discusses the Maple Leafs' head coaching search and the top candidates for the position in Toronto.
If either of these coaches impress Brad Treliving and the front office in their interview process the hiring process could end quickly for the Toronto Maple Leafs. If not the process could drag out into the summer bordering on the NHL Draft.
Once there are more updates on the interviews conducted by the Toronto Maple Leafs and the potential hiring of a coach we will pass them along to you.
