Berube is one of the few coaches on the market with a Stanley Cup on their resume. Berube is a no-nonsense coach who brings a sense of accountability to whichever locker room he walks into. He's not afraid to call out his best players and demand more from them.
This is huge for the Maple Leafs who are in desperate need of a new voice and accountability in the locker room.
Update:
Toronto has confirmed the hiring.
