Is Brendan Shanahan’s Maple Leafs Tenure on the Brink of a Shocking Turn?

Shanahan just completed his 11th season in the position and is on a contract that is due to expire at the end of June.
Internally, the bar ownership had set for progress on this Leafs season was an appearance in the Eastern Conference final, according to league sources. Toronto fell one win short of that benchmark, albeit in dispiriting fashion — with a pair of 6-1 losses to the Panthers at Scotiabank Arena in Games 5 and 7.
The way that series ended has left ownership disappointed and embarrassed, according to league sources. As close as the Leafs were to taking a meaningful step from previous seasons, the way they lost made it feel a little farther from reach.
