The Toronto Maple Leafs need a new coach.

After two seasons with the team, Craig Berube and the Toronto Maple Leafs have parted ways. Now, general manager John Chayka has to find his new leader.

FanDuel has launched a market on who will be the next head coach in Toronto, with Bruce Cassidy opening with the best odds at +184.

Cassidy was the bench boss for the Vegas Golden Knights before getting fired by the team just before the postseason.

The 2019-20 Jack Adams Award winner is just one of four names priced shorter than 5-1 in this market.

The other three are Todd Nelson, Jay Woodcroft and Manny Malhotra all at +360.

Meanwhile, former New York Islander head coach Patrick Roy is a +1300 longshot to be the next head coach in Toronto. Roy, 60, went 97-78-22 in three seasons with the Islanders.

Here is a look at the full market on FanDuel.
