Sheldon Keefe didn't stay unemployed for long. After being fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs, he accepts a new challenge shortly after.
Sheldon Keefe is the new head coach of the New Jersey Devils. There were rumors linking Keefe's name to the Devils, and now it's confirmed.
Despite having two years left on his contract with the Leafs, he decides to quickly return behind the bench of an NHL team.
The Devils are searching for direction, but they have a very promising young core. It's a team that underperformed last season and even fired veteran Lindy Ruff mid-season.
Sheldon Keefe has had his share of playoff failures, but his teams have always performed well in the regular season with strong offensive production. The Devils hope that translates to success in New Jersey.
