Shanahan gone Update May 22: contract will not be renewed

[Jimmy Firecracker]

See ya never, Shanny.

 

[Stephen]

He basically was that in toronto

He was part time GM with political protection of being a president. Great gig if you can win.

[Eternal Leaf]

Great news.

 

[Stephen]

I dunno if Keith Pelley is our white knight. We’ll see.

 

[Dragao6]

I have never u deretood why you need a president and a gm

Is it implied Tree is there too? Kind of ominous otherwise.

 

[Buds17]

Not having a contract in place was one shoe dropping and being permitted to interview with a "rival" team the other. Hoping the team moves forward in the future by moving onward here.

 

[CapspaceKiller]

Like most things with this organization, it should happened years ago.

It was a great advantage for Shanny. Allowed him to be in TOR for 11 years.

 

[Wrong Wilson]

Better late than never

 

[Martin Skoula]

Interesting to go from anti-beard Lou to a guy with one.

 

[The Masters]

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

He was filled with bad decisions, and his team ultimately never went beyond 7 playoff wins.

 

[Wrong Wilson]

No Tre?

 

[WTFMAN99]

New voice?

 

[centipede2233]

Just a calamity of errors since shanahan was hired. Hopefully this is a wake up call for MLSE and realized they had morons running their team.

 

[The Masters]

what a goof

 

[Tak7]

I expect him to announce no more President's role, the expansion of Treliving's responsibilities, and that he will now report directly to Pelley / the board.

(Hilarious irony in the fact that Dubas was basically fired for wanting to streamline the decision-making process and bypass the President after trades to blow up the core 4 were vetoed, and now it's Shanahan being shitcanned and the President's role being removed after the core 4 failed).

 

[AllHeartNoSkill]

what a goof

This is the first time I’ve heard that tidbit. Man that makes him look petty.

 

[Buds17]

I have never u deretood why you need a president and a gm

To avoid having one individual with too much power or influence?

 

[Ianturnedbull]

The whole time my outrage was towards Dubas.

Now I feel bad.

Bring back Dubas!















No.

The new voice comment in the presser is interesting to me. I wouldn't be surprised if there's more to this than just Tre reporting to Pelley - at least down the road.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Thanks for building a gutless team whose identity is collapsing

 

[Smif]

Great news.

Another ine bites the dust.
