SAD: Brendan Shanahan, the president of the Maple Leafs, is in a very difficult situation following Sheldon Keefe’s departure.

Sheldon Keefe got fired as Maple Leafs head coach Thursday. And if you were of the mind that coaching is the problem in Leafland, it was a change that came far too late.

It would have made just as much sense to fire him a year ago, after the Leafs followed up their first playoff-series win in 19 years with a second-round faceplant against Florida. Keefe self-identified as a Kyle Dubas protégé from the day he took over for Mike Babcock in 2019. So it would have been logical to send Keefe packing along with the Pittsburgh-bound ex-GM last spring.
