Summary
Toronto’s Maple Leafs pulled off a bold gamble by hiring Jim Hiller as head coach — a former assistant with deep ties to the roster and a proven track record in rebuilding.

With 25 candidates interviewed, this move signals a high-stakes gamble: can Hiller deliver playoff contention fast enough to save the franchise’s future?
