Friedman: \u201cAnd Nashville, we\u2019ll see if that is the week. that they had in-person visits last week. I consider Brett Peterson from Florida. Bill Scott from Edmonton. Darren York from Carolina. They asked permission to discuss with Eric Tulsky. They were denied. Daring, daring request.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kyle Bukauskas: \u201cInteresting one, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cYeah, daring request. But we\u2019ll see if that is the group they\u2019re selecting from, and in the event that they are making a call or there\u2019s anyone else on the market I\u2019m missing.<\/p>\n

You already know what, Kyle, you began the podcast with all of the surprises. I believe we ought to be ready for anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Toronto Maple Leafs, Recent Jersey Devils, and the Nashville Predators<\/a><\/p>\n

The Toronto Maple Leafs may not have been that focused on Pete DeBoer, and will lean towards an up-and-comer like Manny Malhotra<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sportsnet<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman, on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast \u2013 The Easter Exit episode on the Toronto Maple Leafs and their coaching situation, and the way they might not have been that focused on Pete DeBoer.<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cI\u2019ll say this too quickly about Toronto. I don\u2019t think Toronto was going to go after DeBoer. I believe in the event that they desired to hire him, they might have done it earlier within the 12 months.<\/p>\n

I just, my theory on Toronto is, in the event that they do make a training change, possibly like a Manny Malhotra<\/a> is the sort of guy that they appear at.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Kyle Bukaukas: \u201cSo an up-and-comer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doug Armstrong Seems Unlikely, but What About Kevyn Adams or Sunny Mehta for the Maple Leafs?<\/a><\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cAn up-and-comer. Just this, I again, that is just listening to Pelley talk and going back over that press conference and seeing what he\u2019s sort of , I believe early on this search. I believe they need to try something a bit different.\u201d<\/p>\n
