Craig Berube is a well respected figure in the hockey world. He coached the St. Louis Blues to their first Stanley Cup Championship in 2019, joining an exclusive club of Stanley Cup-winning coaches. Unfortunately for him, the Blues decided to let him go this season as the team has been performing poorly.
Since the coaching change, the Blues have gone 5-3, including a couple of impressive wins over some of the best teams in the league, including two victories over the central division rival Dallas Stars. The team is now 18-17-1, giving themselves a shot to make the playoffs this year, but they are still a long shot to make the second season. Berube on the other hand, is simply waiting for another chance in the league. Apparently, he wouldn't mind going north of the border for his next job.
The Leafs have not had a coaching change since November of 2019 when Sheldon Keefe landed the job. Keefe signed a contract extension this past offseason that will keep him in his role until the end of the 2024-25 season assuming he completes the deal. Given how poorly the team has played at times this year though, that may not happen.
