Laviolette shares his reaction to the firing of Craig Berube, explains why the Maple Leafs job is one of the most intriguing openings in hockey, and compares the pressure and spotlight in Toronto to coaching the Cowboys and Yankees. He also dives into what makes high-pressure markets appealing, the behind-the-scenes process of interviewing for NHL jobs, and why he believes his coaching style and experience would mesh well with this Leafs core. Plus, Laviolette discusses the luxury of Toronto owning the No. 1 overall pick — potentially landing Gavin McKenna — his track record working with young players, and how much a franchise player’s long-term commitment, specifically Auston Matthews, factors into evaluating a coaching opportunity. 🚨 Subscribe to Leafs Nation on Youtube!🚨 ➡️ / @theleafsnation401 SHOUTOUT TO OUR SPONSORS!! 👍🏼Powered by @bet365.
