Expect the hammer to drop quickly in Toronto.

The Maple Leafs are set to play their final game of another disappointing season Saturday against the playoff-bound Montreal Canadiens, and change is expected to roll in with the spring winds, reports TSN's Darren Dreger.

While it's expected that current coach Peter Horachek will be replaced, there's been no shortage of speculation surrounding the future of the club's core players, most notably Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf.

It's possible that no one is safe after a 26th-place finish and only one playoff appearance in the past 10 seasons.
