Radio host publicly attacks Brendan Shanahan for the messy situation the Leafs are in

The hockey world and Leafs Nation were in shock on Friday afternoon after Brendan Shanahan announced Kyle Dubas would not be returning as General Manager next season. From what we gathered during his press conference, it essentially came down to Shanahan not being willing to meet the last minute demands of Dubas, in combination with comments made by Dubas on Monday that planted seeds of doubt in Shanahan's mind. That is fair to an extent, but to, from what we know, not even go back with a counter offer and let the best GM the Leafs have had since Pat Quinn walk is ridiculous.

On TSN's Overdrive this afternoon, co-host Bryan Hayes blasted Shanahan and his "Shanaplan", saying that he is in his 9th year, going on his 4th GM and has one playoff round win. He continued by saying that Shanahan is lucky to still have a job.

Shanahan's current contract runs to the end of the 2024/2025 season, but depending how next season goes and his new GM handles negotiations with Auston Matthews and William Nylander, Shanahan could find himself out of a job this time next year and he will have cost this team Kyle Dubas and perhaps a complete dismantling of the Core 4 and the franchise as we know it. Not exactly the legacy you want to leave behind.
