Earlier, Sportsnet’s Damien Cox and Elliotte Friedman reported that Toronto was granted permission to speak to the Detroit Red Wings coach.
My understanding is Maple Leafs have acquired permission to talk to Mike Babcock. TOR regime likely at front of line. Aggressive group.

Leafs also believed to have permission to talk to Todd MacLellan. Expected Brendan Shanahan headed to worlds this week, may have task there.

At very least Leafs will have serious talks with Babcock and MacLellan. As @FriedgeHNIC reported, some think MacLellan is headed to EDM.

DET and SJ would get a 3rd pick as compensation if Babcock or MacLellan sign elsewhere.
