John Shannon likes Mike Gillis' track record as potential GM fit for Maple Leafs
"Pelley stated that the impending decision to hire a new GM or president of hockey operations will be the most important one he makes during his tenure."
"I like Mike Gillis. If you look at track records and what he did in Vancouver, he rebuilt an organization, got to a Stanley Cup Final and was within one win of taking home the Stanley Cup."
"Shannon said, 'I think Keith understands what's best for the franchise, and that's hiring a President and a general manager, and that could be either one or two guys.'"
The Toronto Maple Leafs are facing a disappointing season, leading to the firing of general manager Brad Treliving. MLSE President Keith Pelley emphasized the importance of hiring a new GM or president of hockey operations. Shannon highlighted the need for strong leadership and mentioned Mike Gillis as a potential candidate due to his successful track record with the Vancouver Canucks. The future of coach Berube will be determined by the new hire, as fans speculate on his position moving forward.
