Cassidy’s Maple Leafs Doubt Has Fans Already Grumbling

The reaction from fans has been immediate, because any hint of hesitation around Toronto’s bench job turns into a full-blown referendum before the ink is even dry. Cassidy knows the market, and so do the people watching it, which is why this one is landing with extra weight.
