Confirmed with Link: Shane Doan named Special Advisor to the General Manager

[ShaneFalco]

If they're doing this to keep AM than nothing has changed

 

[Zero1]

Now the Leafs are handing out money to friends and family? What’s next, Paul Marner as the AGM?

This better be a hire based on merit.

 

[Vachon23]

This franchise is so f***ing stupid.

Why ? I hate the Leafs but that's a good hired by you guys.

Doan have work with Arizona and he was Team Canada GM at the last WC where they won.

 

[Anthrax442]

Pridham is still here for cap management.

I know we love him, but there are other people in the world that own a calculator

 

[Burnie97]

I like it. He was a great player and he has a great attitude.

He's also worked his way up the ladder a bit in Arizona.

I figure a similar role that Spezza probably had. Can't hurt.

 

[justashadowof]

There probably is a sweet spot between Shane Doan and the insufferable nu males Dubas liked to hire. The complaining is going to be epic over this one. At least he has actually worked in the Coyotes' front office for several seasons.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Unlike Spezza, at least he has some front office experience. He seems qualified enough to be a GM's assistant and may eventually grow into a real contributor

 

[Martin Skoula]

I like it. He was a great player and he has a great attitude.

Yeah he’s a real winner crying about the GM trading Yandle and Hanzal instead of letting his friends stay to hang out with him in country club Arizona.

 

[phillipmike]

The new Jason Spezza,

Hopefully Doan tells Matthews, i was loyal to one franchise during my playing career, you can do the same.

 

[Kurtz]

Shane Doan is a pretty big deal, although I thought he'd be an Arizona lifer (though I figured Spezza would be a Leaf lifer).

Doan was also a mean sunovabitch. Further indication, imo, that we'll be looking for more pugnacity and truculence.

That I didn't know

 

[Canucks LB]

Doan is one of the good guys in the nhl.
Nice fit

 

[Budz]

Next announcement - Alexis Faux will be made the head of the massage/physical therapy department.

Paul Marner head scout.

Nylander’s Dad should come on down too.

 

[Sizzle]

Somebody had speculated this last week (maybe Friedman?).

Anyways, OK. I don't really have an opinion of him in a management role.

I mentioned this before Treliving was announced about a week and a bit ago.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Replacement for Spezza?

 

[Nooodles]

I know we love him, but there are other people in the world that own a calculator

I know you probably hate him because of Dubas, but you can pick up a calculator and still dont know shit about the CBA, which he actually worked on.

 

[AustonMarner]

The only thing that might be comparable between Spezza and Doan would be their playing careers lol

Doan is a really good hire imho
Tons of managerial experience for Team Canada at WC, Spengler & Olympics with a lot of positive results...

Leafs are hiring Patrick Roy for sure now right lol

 

[Anthrax442]

I know you probably hate him because of Dubas, but you can pick up a calculator and still dont know shit about the CBA, which he actually worked on.

i dont hate or love Dubas or anyone attached to him. I just wonder if Pridham on his own is worth that "cap whisperer" tag he got.

 

[Antropovsky]

This franchise is so f***ing stupid.

Spezza was a better option?

 

[TheTotalPackage]

He's our new Spezza. Even if we have no clue what the heck he does, there's no real harm in the move. Spezza was cutting his teeth under Dubas. Doan will do the same under Treliving. Who knows...he may be a rising star in the NHL management world, the same way Spezza was being considered as he was learning the trade.

 

[Antropovsky]

Doan actually has experience. Dubas would not hire anybody with experience, because he's too self conscience.

Shanahan ring a bell tough SOB soft team

Sportsnet 590 The Fan's Nick Kypreos and ESPN's Kevin Weekes were first to report the connection between Doan and the Maple Leafs. A timeline for when Doan will join the Maple Leafs or what role he will hold was not immediately known.

Maybe he doesn't like Utah or Kansas?
