Maple Leafs hire Steve Sullivan as Assistant Coach

The Toronto Maple Leafs didn't take long to replace Marc Savard on their bench, as the team announced they've promoted Steve Sullivan to assistant coach.

Maple Leafs Rumors: Top Tier Head Coach To Take Over If Berube Is Fired

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had somewhat of a nightmare season and are second-last in the Eastern Conference with 37 points (16-15-5).

Maple Leafs Still Looking to Add While Trading 2 Forwards
