Brendan Shanahan, the Toronto Maple Leafs president, has been given permission to interview for a front-office position with the New York Islanders. Shanahan has worked with the Leafs for 11 years and helped sign Lou Lamoriello during his tenure. With the Islanders facing a need for new leadership following playoff misses, Shanahan's potential role remains uncertain, but he would contribute to significant changes as the franchise seeks to rebound from past performance issues. Other candidates are also being considered for the Islanders' leadership positions.
"With vacancies at both the president and general manager positions, it is unclear what Shanahan's potential role with the Islanders would be, but he would be tasked with overseeing a significant re-tool."
"Just one year into Shanahan's role with Toronto, he helped sign Hall-of-Fame executive Lou Lamoriello as general manager, the same Lou Lamoriello who spent the last seven years with the Islanders."
