If Matthews hurries up and has a son next year, the Leafs can draft Miles Marner in 2043 and Matthews son in 2044

Interesting note about the Islanders GM/President search from Arthur Staple of the Athletic:

I had discounted Leafs president Brendan Shanahan in my update earlier this week but have since been told not to be so fast to dismiss him. Shanahan’s contract expires June 30 and the Leafs are trying to reach the Eastern Conference final for the first time since 2002. If they get past the Panthers, that might make a Shanahan return in Toronto more likely. But if not and the MLSE board is willing to move on, there could be interest from the Islanders. Collins and Shanahan worked together at the NHL for years.

Shanahan is probably not a dual-role option for the Islanders, so ownership would have to make the call on whether it’s worth shelling out for Shanahan plus a GM — current Leafs special assistant Shane Doan, maybe? — and also whether the Leafs’ timeline for making a call on Shanahan works with the Isles’ timeline, already 23 days into their search.

A long shot, but not off the table.

Bye...

Shanahan lives on my street and kids go to same school. I dont know him personally. But very very happy to see him go.

From my reverse engineering of everything....after his initial years with the franchise....his tenure with the Leafs has been just a big boondoggle for him.

Responsibility for squandering the best drafted talent (which he duly gets credit for drafting) this team has ever had in its history flows to the very top: Rogers and Shanahan. And Rogers is relying on Shanahan to bring the hockey sense. Yet there has been so much torture from non sensical hockey decisions.... many of which the members of this Forum have listed and continue to beat their heads over year after year. And lack of results, which the history books will reflect.

Tim Leiwecke was hired by Rogers and said "Plan the Parades". He hired Shanahan for the Leafs and Masai for the Raptors. One of them delivered all the way. The other is currently at a best of 2 wins in round two.

I concur with Cabber24...... "Bye".
