Maurice got sacrificed so that the new GM, whoever they are can start however they want.
This leads me to two possible reasons for the timing of the firing:
1) They have a new GM close to signing a deal and the new guy didn't want to be the hatchet man on Maurice because Marice's stock in Toronto is still damn high...
2) I've heard that "some" of the players have had issues with Maurice, now the fact that he got canned, suggests to me anyways that those players who had issue with Maurice are still in the Leafs long term plans...
..and so the ferris wheels turns...
