Toronto Maple Leafs: Brendan Shanahan Should Have Fired Himself

Brendan Shanahan should have walked away from his role with the Toronto Maple Leafs today instead of firing Kyle Dubas.

Does Brendan Shanahan forget that he’s the one who hired Kyle Dubas as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs? He inflicted pain on the franchise, hired Mike Babcock and Lou Lamoriello, then eventually gave Dubas and Keefe the reigns before letting them both walk.

With Dubas out as GM of the Leafs, Keefe will seemingly be gone before we know it too.

When a new manager comes in, the coach is typically the next to go, so it would be shocking to see Keefe behind the bench for opening night of the Leafs 2023-24 season.
