Keith Pelley hired as new MLSE President, CEO

I'm sure he'll be looking for the best available talent over the next year.

He'll have no loyalty to existing assets.

That's probably one of the things that saved Shanny's bacon for this season. Pelley may be a financial whiz but he isn't from the NHL so immediately taking the nuclear option was never likely to happen. He needs to learn the lay of the land so to speak, including possible replacement options. All he knows coming in is that the organization is a wrecking ball in the regular season and they make tons of money. Plus whatever the board decided to fill him in on, keeping in mind Shanahan is their creature so they aren't going to lead with " he's incompetent but his excuses sound so believable".

I think Tre and BS both have to make big things happen this year. Treliving is Shanny's hire so they might be riding the same rail out of town. The new guy being an outside resets the clock but only for a year.

One can wish, but probably both bet big raises covered by new captain jersey sales……

I said when Pelley was hired he was going to “own rental” Shanahan.

Nothing changes without change, lauding Shanahan for a job well done instead of turfing his ass just delays any hope if righting the ship. Tick tock Pelley, tick tock…….
