HERSHEY, PA - After leading the Toronto Maple Leafs' power play to consecutive top two finishes in power-play percentage, Spencer Carbery emerged as the the top young coaching prospect available on the NHL market this summer, garnering interviews from the Washington Capitals, Anaheim Ducks, and New York Rangers.

The Washington Capitals announced on Tuesday morning via Twitter that they had hired Toronto Maple Leafs Assistant Coach Spencer Carbery as their club's new head coach.Carbery served as assistant to Sheldon Keefe over the last two seasons with the Toronto Maple Leafs after holding the role as the head coach for the Capitals AHL affiliate Hershey Bears from 2018 until 2021.

Fired Rockets head coach Stephen Silas "could add tremendous value" to the Boston Celtics coach staff should he get hired by Joe Mazzulla and the organization's brain trust - this, at least, according to Inside The Rockets' Jeremy Brener."After winning just 59 over the course of three seasons with the team, Silas' first opportunity as a head coach after two decades as an assistant did not go according to plan," Brener prefaced before saying, "As one of the most respected coaches in league circles, Silas should find a new home rather quickly, even if his head coaching stint wasn't up to par.

The new Maple Leafs General Manager has to attend to the Auston Matthews contract situation, decide whether Sheldon Keefe stays on as head coach, oversee (to the extent he's allowed by the league) the team's upcoming draft, and make a plethora of other player personnel and off-ice personnel decisions throughout the organization this offseason.

The Toronto Raptors were the only team in the NBA without a head coach after the Monty Williams move, though they seemed to narrow their final list of candidates down to three.Darko Rajakovic may not have been a household name to many, but he will be soon enough.Rajakovic spent the last four seasons as an assistant coach with the Memphis Grizzlies and has been cutting his teeth in the NBA for almost a decade with the Thunder and Suns.

The Toronto Raptors have been interviewing plenty of proven head coaches and top-end assistants in their quest to find a replacement for Nick Nurse.They have also made one of the more puzzling interview requests we had seen in quite some time when they asked to talk to JJ Redick.Redick, who is currently a TV talking head with ESPN and a podcast host following a very productive 15-year NBA career, was interviewed by the Raptors for their head coaching vacancy.

The Toronto Raptors' coaching search after the firing of Nick Nurse has been anything but conventional.Not only have names like Becky Hammon managed to wiggle their way into the collective consciousness of this fanbase, but JJ Redick has become one of the most discussed names in Canadian sports today.

Toronto Maple Leafs assistant coach Spencer Carbery appears to be a hot commodity on the coaching market.The Washington Capitals have reportedly already asked permission to interview him for a head coaching position, and he's seemingly already had an interview with the Anaheim Ducks.Now, it looks like the New York Rangers are considering Carbery's services.

Folks, it's looking unlikely that the Washington Capitals will win the Stanley Cup in 2023.If you need to take a moment to process this news, we will wait.On the bright side, it's looking increasingly likely that the eventual Stanley Cup-winning team will include at least one former Washington Capitals player.
