After firing former head coach Sheldon Keefe and replacing him, rumours have been circulating about other potential changes within the organization, including potentially adding Savard as an assistant to Berube, who was hired Friday by the Leafs.
Although Savard was a skilled player in his time on the ice, that talent may not translate into coaching a Powerplay, and with Guy Boucher's Powerplay numbers coming in at 7th in the NHL last season, bringing Savard in could result in struggles.
