Brendan Shanahan steps down after Maple Leafs’ latest playoff failure, who’s next?
Brendan Shanahan's nearly decade-long tenure as President of Hockey Operations for the Toronto Maple Leafs has ended after consistent playoff failures, despite regular season success. The Leafs, under Shanahan since 2014, underwent a rebuild and signed star players but only advanced past the first round once. The team will now seek new leadership, potentially from within or outside the organization.
