## Resource

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. Despite his Kings stint ending in early playoff exits, Hiller’s offensive expertise and familiarity with stars like Matthews and Tavares could be the key to reviving Toronto’s struggling power play. With 25 candidates interviewed, this move signals a high-stakes gamble: can Hiller deliver playoff contention fast enough to save the franchise’s future?
