Where are the Toronto Maple Leafs of their coaching search<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Media<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman, when asked concerning the Toronto Maple Leafs coaching search and when it could come to an end.<\/p>\n

** NHLRumors.com transcription<\/em><\/p>\n

Kathryn Tappen: \u201cWell, sticking with Toronto, there\u2019s still a head coaching emptiness there as well. Any indication on, are they near finalizing a brand new coach or where we\u2019re at with this search?<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Will the Buffalo Sabres and Alex Tuch Make a Deal?<\/a><\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cNo, I don\u2019t consider, Kathryn, they\u2019re near finding a brand new (coach). I feel it\u2019s, someone told me on the weekend that from what they\u2019re hearing about Toronto, they\u2019re going to talk over with numerous people. And so they, they’re, they really need to talk over with, they’ve a protracted list, apparently.<\/p>\n

And I do know I\u2019ve been, I\u2019ve been putting some names on the market, Jay Woodcroft, Manny Malhotra, names like that, and I had some people say to me, it\u2019s just, they think it\u2019s only a much deeper search than that.<\/p>\n

Now, one name that I feel is, someone that they\u2019re thinking about is David Carle, the pinnacle coach of Denver. Enormously successful. I feel there\u2019s been some early contact there, and I feel they\u2019re going to speak again. I feel they only desired to gauge his interest. Would, would, would you have an interest in any respect within the job? I feel they will speak again, and we\u2019ll see where it goes here he’s. You understand, he’s ready where he can call his own shot.<\/p>\n

But I feel Toronto desires to forged a large net. I feel they would really like to talk over with (Bruce) Cassidy, too. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s a probable consequence, but I do consider that they\u2019re ready where they wish to talk over with numerous people. And so they are usually not ready where they really have a desire to rush this, unless for whatever reason they absolutely must do.<\/p>\n

The Edmonton Oilers are In search of a Stanley Cup Winning Coach? Are the Golden Knights Blocking That?<\/a><\/p>\n

David Pagnotta<\/strong><\/a>: Imagine that Jay Woodcroft is on the Toronto Maple Leafs radar for his or her vacant head coaching position. The Maple Leafs would want permission from the Anaheim Geese to talk with him. As of Tuesday, they hadn\u2019t reached out to the Geese about permission.<\/p>\n
