Ex-Maple Leafs bench boss Sheldon Keefe reveals the most important lesson he'll take with him to New Jersey

''There's nothing that I haven't seen or experienced. And I've seen it at the highest level, perhaps we didn't get deep enough in the playoffs for it to really elevate, but I guess the deeper you go in the playoffs, everyone, no matter where you are, you know, the attention and what have you is going to increase, but it's on an everyday basis in Toronto and I've experienced that.''

''I think the biggest thing is just to remain true to yourself, keep the focus on the things that matter and the things that you can control. So that is the perspective I've gained, which comes through any experience in life, but certainly what I've been through as it relates to the media attention and the expectations that were on the team in Toronto. But the reality is I felt well equipped, even as someone who had never coached in the league for that and simply because everywhere that I've coached, I felt like there's expectations. First of all, I've only ever coached teams with expectations and I love that.''
