Ron Wilson and Brian Burke go way back. A scenario where Burke would have to fire his good pal seems unlikely. The leafs have changed their entire roster over the course of Wilson's tenure and his assistant coaches have also changed. With the leafs sitting on the cusp of the play off picture currently looking in from the outside, it seems the only thing to happen now is the firing of Wilson. After receiving a 1 year extension from Burke, it seems as though Burke is letting Wilson coach the rest of this season with the team behind him thinking he will be back next year.
With a special teams enthusiast awaiting his opportunity to take over the heralded Toronto Maple Leafs, Wilson may be out of a job if his penalty kill keeps the Leafs out of the play-off's once again for the sixth straight year. Dallas Eakins has his penalty kill at the top of the AHL and is coaching the marlies to the tune of a 17-12-5 record
