Maple Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe runs a drill during training camp at the Ford Performance Centre in Toronto, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2023.Jann Arden in HRM helping Habitat for Humanity | SaltWireThe thought of quarterbacking one of the best power plays in hockey must have fired John Klingberg’s imagination when the free agent first talked to the Maple Leafs around July 1.

The Leafs do not allow assistants to speak to the media, but head coach Sheldon Keefe said Boucher’s props were displayed just to underline what was discussed in team meetings and not likely to be used as practices ramp up towards the beginning of regular season on Oct. 11.
