Leafs Need a Coach Who Can Walk the Line

The Maple Leafs are once again staring at the same old coaching problem, and this one is less about raw systems than about managing a room that can tilt on you fast. Toronto does not need a drill sergeant or a players’ park bench - it needs somebody who can keep stars engaged without letting the whole thing drift off the rails. In this market, that balance is not a luxury, and the wrong hire can turn a promising roster into another summer autopsy.
