Some are already speculating that a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs' coaching staff may be fired because of a particular aspect of the team's recent play, as the Leafs are currently hovering around .500 win % after 12 games into the 2024-25 NHL regular season.
This season, the Toronto Maple Leafs have gone 3-for-38 in power plays. With a success rate of 7.8%, the team is dead last in the NHL.
Marc Savard was brought in to correct the power play, which has significantly deteriorated under his leadership, regardless of the actual cause of the problems. Savard might soon be on the unemployment line, so he and the other coaching staff members will need to come up with a solution quickly. Toronto should have one of the best man-advantage systems in the league because they have too much firepower to struggle the way they do. For a period.
