Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan's Firing Date May Have Just Been Leaked

Brendan Shanahan is someone who has received a ton of scrutiny over the last few years thanks to the Leafs' lack of postseason success.

As the President of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Shanahan is largely responsible for hockey operations. While Brad Treliving signs contracts and makes trades, Shanahan helps steer the ship.

After yet another playoff disaster on Sunday, the consensus is that the Maple Leafs will have a President before July 1st. MLSE is known for making sweeping changes, and the belief is that those changes are imminent.

In fact, @yyzsportsmedia on X revealed that MLSE is rumored to be having a big board meeting on Thursday. The timing is certainly suspicious.

The implication here is that Shanahan could very well be gone by the end of the week, especially if the board members all see it as a necessary evil.

In a new report from reporter Chris Johnston, it was revealed that the Toronto Maple Leafs received a call from the New York Islanders.

With the Islanders looking for new leadership, they called to ask the Leafs if they could get permission to speak with Shahahan. While we don't know how MLSE responded to that, we do know that the Islanders making such a call shows Shanahan could be gone very soon.

There was also a report from Luke Fox this week suggesting that we could see Brad Treliving lose his job as well.

Everyone in a leadership role appears to be on the hot seat, which is shocking when you consider how this team won the Atlantic Division.

Either way, the fans are begging for better results, and perhaps a new front office can deliver that. No matter what, these next few weeks will be very interesting.
