Devils fan here curious what a levelheaded opinion of this guy is from a Leafs fan. Although I think there are drawbacks, I certainly think he is the best available. Bottom line is that I am excited though

TSN says he’s already fired 🤣😂

Nobody wants our players: false
Nobody wants our coaches: false
Nobody wants our management: false
It seems more and more like the Toronto Maple Leafs are just a shit stew with plenty of tasty bits mixed in. For fuck’s sake, someone pour out the stew and save those tasty bits and start a new batch before it’s too late.

Keefe going to a team at the exact same developmental place he is seems perfect
Was kinda bonkers they brought in young first timers to be coach and GM
Tricky enough with Matthews and Marner getting the great Leafs hope put on them as teens
All four of the main pillars of the team were inexperienced raw youngsters
Unreal.

Let’s trade Marner to them for Luke Hughes and Nico Hischier

Am I ever happy for Sheldon. If the Leafs falter this season, I know who I’ll be cheering for. I’ve always been a Keefer fan and wish him huge success in New Jersey.

Too soon 🙁

Good man. Sheldon gave up his 2millx2 from the leafs contract and took this job.

Congrats, Sheldon.

I’d say he’s a good pickup with what’s out there right now. He’ll be fine. He’ll help certain things with the team definitely. My main concern is he seems good at the basics but doesn’t seem to be able to effectively employ a system that really works. Or that seemed the case in Toronto (could be the personnel). Toronto won games due to the high end talent they had. They were loose and often sloppy systemically and employed systems that seemed easy to exploit. I don’t think Keefe made the team worse than any other average coach would have but I don’t think he did better either. He basically performed exactly how you’d expect his team to perform with the players on it every year in the season. He never had a season where they seemed to punch above their weight and be better than a sum of its individual parts ever and that’s why the couldn’t do it in the playoffs IMO.

I wonder if he’ll bring Chenowyth with him.

Next Wes Macaulay is going to retire and the devils will win the cup!

Shout out to every over reacting person in this sub who declared he would never coach in the NHL again.

Beyond happy for Sheldon, wish things had worked out better for him with our Leafs, he carries only a very small portion of the lack of results.
Class act, wish him well with NJ, just not against the Leafs.

Does that mean that MLSE saves $2m/year x 2?

I wonder if Keefe will suddenly start making smart adjustments in the playoffs now that he is no longer head coach of the leafs.

Good for him. No cap he’s a good coach, but he needs to stop overthinking every move, especially in the playoffs.
My guess is the Devils comfortably get into the Playoffs next season, however we’ll see how Keefe performs in the playoffs. NJ has a pretty similar team build to Toronto, but lacks that high end scoring talent on the level of 34, 88, or 16.

I’ve never really thought about it but are the Devils under New York media eyes all the time like the proper nyc teams or is it more chill in comparison
