Former Toronto Maple Leafs president Brendan Shanahan is reportedly looking for an NHL job, and there is a Western Conference team that wants him.
Brendan Shanahan is a controversial figure for Toronto Maple Leafs fans, as some see him as the reason why the franchise never won a Stanley Cup in the Core Four era.
This past Summer, the Leafs opted to move on from Shanahan. Now, the man works with the NHL, and he is still looking for a job with a team.
Overall, there are quite a few teams that could use Shanahan, whether it be as a President or maybe even a general manager.
Recently, Barry Trotz revealed that he is retiring and is in the process of stepping down from his role with the Nashville Predators.
Brendan Shanahan to the Nashville Predators?
According to David Pagnotta, this has opened up an opportunity for Shanahan to join the Predators as their next President.
If the Predators go the direction of bringing in a President for the hockey club, I think Brendan Shanahan has already made it known that he would be willing to entertain that possibility
There have been no formal talks between either side, but it seems pretty clear that Shanahan would be at the top of their list.
The Predators are an interesting team, whose future is not completely set in stone following a plethora of changes and signing sthat did not pan out.
Whether or not the Predators are able to keep their playoff hopes alive going forward is something that very much remains to be seen.
Either way, the Shanahan situation is one that we are certainly going to monitor, going forward.
