Leafs Align GM and Coach for First Time | NHL News
Description
Toronto’s Maple Leafs just made a bold move: new GM John Chayka fired head coach Craig Berube just ten days in and shocked everyone by hiring Jim Hiller — a former Kings coach with a solid record and surprising familiarity with the Leafs. Hiller’s teams were defensively stout and won at a high clip, but struggled in the playoffs. Chayka’s choice isn’t about style — it’s about alignment. Both men share an analytical mindset, and Hiller’s detailed plan to maximize current talent and his past Leafs experience sealed the deal. For the first time in years, the front office and coaching staff are on the same page — a crucial step as the Leafs enter a new era.
