What is clear is that the Maple Leafs will not hire a president to replace Shanahan. Instead, Pelley said he will work closer with Treliving, who will be entering his third season with the Maple Leafs in 2025-26, and Berube, who will begin his second season as coach.

The Maple Leafs have officially parted ways with team president Brendan Shanahan, further opening the door for the respected hockey executive to potentially land a similar role on Long Island in the Islanders’ front office.

Shanahan leaves in his wake a number of memorable moments and key decisions that still impact the team on and off the ice.
