Episode Details

Despite a disappointing season, the Toronto Maple Leafs should keep head coach Craig Berube to increase their chances of securing a top-five draft pick. Trading their 2022 first-round pick to the Boston Bruins last season has made the pick top-five protected, meaning if Toronto lands a top-five pick, they keep it. To boost their odds in the draft lottery, the Leafs need to finish near the bottom of the league standings, which means they have to keep losing. Firing Berube risks sparking a late winning streak, leaving them stuck mid-pack and unable to keep the pick. For a smart retool, hanging on to the coach and tanking quietly makes the most sense moving forward.
