Yep, sounds like he was probably asked to axe Keefe and is distraught and in shock....
This is what I think as well and probably told a core piece or 2 to boot. And if this is whats going on then those that have said its not good for the gm to be such good buddies with everyone as it will cloud your judgement were right. Even Burke said it was super difficult to fire his buddy Wilson and it took him a while to do it even though everyone saw it needed to be done earlier.

Do you know if either wife will be talking to larry tanenbaum's wife ?
goes without saying

Matthews got less than 1/3 of his goals and points on the PP.
Nylander got less than 1/3 of his points and less than 1/4 of his goals on the PP.
Marner got very little more that 1/3 of his goals and points on the PP.
Tavares got half his goals and points on the PP.

He is far too dependent on the PP.
Here I'm thinking that the most PP goals (18) by a Leaf since 2005-06 would be a positive thing.

MLSE letting a dude who shouldn't even have a job at this point dictate the entire terms of the negotiations and narrative around it is ridiculous

Basically the most leafs thing of all time

Should have been canned right after the Florida series let alone after day 4 of "talking to his family"

Additionally sets up great for players to take us to the cleaners if our GM is holding out like he's willy nylander despite accomplishing 0

Can't believe a billion dollar company is begging this dude to come back

If your happy with mediocre that’s great, for me the bar is set a wee bit higher………
I was just going to reply the same thing...yes those were some dark times that I do not want to revisit but those were different times and the bar has been raised so expectations are raised as well. Its kind of the whole point isnt it?

I agree but he kills play 5 on 5 with the other top 6 players we have id rather remove him then any of them fire Keefe I would have had knies with o Reilly and nylander and put Tavares with kerfoot and jarnkrok

It's crazy how decisive the raptors are in comparison to the leafs

We'd still have collangelo as GM if they were run the same way

Hockey Hall of Famer Brendan Shanahan Selling $13M NYC Condo

By Jennifer Kelly Geddes

May 18, 2023

Professional hockey players get bashed against the boards, grinding it out week after week in the NHL.

But when the skates are hung up after practices and games, they look forward to relaxing in quiet comfort.

The Park Avenue pad owned by legendary forward Brendan Shanahan is precisely that type of elegant perch.

Huge by Manhattan standards, the five-bedroom, 4.5-bath condo offers 4,200 square feet of living space. But it’s the location that truly sells the residence. It sits smack dab in the middle of the Upper East Side near all the great museums, fancy boutiques, and Central Park.

2 year, and what do we care if it’s one way?

Depth defencemen, I mean.. he’s adequate for the role no?
I think its more that it seems as though he is favoring soo players instead of having a wider outlook, kind of like how he didnt even look at anyone else other than Keefe. I understand why he wanted Keefe but to not even consider anyone else regardless is a little narrow.

It's very bizarre that we haven't heard from Shanahan by now. I would have thought that the criteria for retaining or removing the GM based on the outcome of the season would have been established months ago. Did the GM pass their test, get offered his extension, turn it down then ask for greater power in the organization?

The issue might be that the bar was so absolutely low (winning a round) that when they shit the bed so hard in round two it mind f***ed the organization

Also will reaffirm that him getting more power is one of the stupidest moves of all time but whatever

Take it for what it’s worth but a friend of mine who has mlse connections said they fired keefe today
Unless hes replaced with a real coach (Quenneville) whose resume commands immediate respect (minus Beach) there's no point.

And people feel sorry for the tough life MLSE mgmt have to put up with, oh the irony………
and the media parrots it.
