Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta are joined by Toronto Sun Leafs reporter Terry Koshan to break down the latest surrounding Toronto’s ongoing coaching search. Koshan weighs in on the Joe Pavelski speculation, explaining why the idea may not be as far-fetched as it first seemed, while sharing insights from conversations with Pete DeBoer and Steve Spott about Pavelski’s coach-like approach to the game.

They also discuss where the Leafs could ultimately go with the search, Bruce Cassidy’s uncertain availability, and why Koshan remains skeptical that Vegas will grant permission for teams to speak with him. Plus, he shares his thoughts on the Mike Babcock-to-Edmonton rumours and why he doesn’t understand the fit.

The conversation then shifts to the Toronto Marlies' run to the Calder Cup Final. Koshan weighs in on whether John Gruden deserves serious consideration for the Leafs job, while highlighting the outstanding play of Artur Akhtyamov as a major reason for the team's success. He also assesses the development of Easton Cowan and Ben Danford during the playoff run before wrapping up with his thoughts on Toronto's goaltending situation and what the Leafs should do in net this summer.
