Jon Cooper not thrilled about the Leafs hiring Craig Berube

"I have a solid friendship with him. I hate when these guys come into our division and I'm buddies with them, but I think he's a hell of a coach and I think he gets the best out of his players.

I thought Sheldon Keefe did a hell of a job there, but Craig will be a different voice for them and I'm not sure what he is doing quite yet with his assistants, but he's an honest coach and if the fans of the team want to get the most out of their players and I know the way he's going to play and it's going to be hard to play against. The one thing he'll make sure he gets out of the guys is an honest effort and that's what Craig does."
