Maple Leafs part ways with president Brendan Shanahan

NHL insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period believes the Toronto Maple Leafs could buy out two key forwards this offseason.
Following the completion of the Maple Leafs 2024-25 season, with a loss in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs to the Florida Panthers, MLSE announced that the contract for team President & Alternate Governor Brendan Shanahan would not be renewed this off-season.
As the Toronto Maple Leafs concluded their locker cleanouts on Tuesday, their PR staff said they'd be in touch regarding future media availabilities.
This has to be it: the end of the Shanaplan, the end of the Core Four Toronto Maple Leafs. There’s no running it back. Not after this. Not after maybe the most embarrassing loss of this era, which came four nights after the other most embarrassing loss of this era.
In retrospect the time to move off the Shanaplan was after the 2020-21 season. Back then, the Toronto Maple Leafs had a dominant regular season in the one-off North Division — it was the COVID-affected 56-game season.
