Description

- Keefe replaced with Berube
- Shanahan fired
- Rationale for Marner trade: VGK will not want to pay Hanifin, Pietrangelo, and Theodore $7M or more. The Leafs get a quality, mobile RD and VGK can replace the offense of Marchessault, Stephenson, and Mantha (who could all be moving on). VGK has a track record of being aggressive and cutting players loose (even veteran guys - just look at the Reilly Smith deal)
- Tavares coming off the books the following season creates further cap flexibility
