Former Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan has reportedly found his next job after not being retained in Toronto.
After they once again failed to make a deep run in the postseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs made a major change in leadership and announced that team president Brendan Shanahan, who had worked for the team for over a decade, wouldn't be brought back.
Even though Shanahan was rumored to be a candidate to take over an executive position with the New York Islanders, they went in a different direction.
Now, it looks like Shanahan has found his next gig after not being retained by the Maple Leafs.
Per a report from NHL analyst Darren Dreger, Shanahan is joining the NHL's Hockey Operations Department.
I will have more on this in Insider Trading @SportsCentre. Brendan Shanahan is joining the NHL's Hockey Operations department. I would expect Shanahan would be a leading candidate if a team makes a significant change and an opportunity presents to lead another NHL club.
Before working for the Maple Leafs, Shanahan, who won 3 Stanley Cups as a player and was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, was the League's top disciplinarian.
Brendan Shanahan Wasn't Brought Back by the Maple Leafs
There were many major decisions overseen by Shanahan during his time in Toronto, including the hiring and firing of Mike Babcock, the firing of Sheldon Keefe, and contract extensions for William Nylander, Mitch Marner and Austin Matthews.
He also fired former GM Kyle Dubas after an alleged power struggle between them.
During his time with the Maple Leafs, they only won 2 postseason series.
