‘Good Simply Isn’t Good Enough’: MLSE Boss Speaks Following Exit of Maple Leafs’ President. Here’s What He Said
- On May 23, 2025, Keith Pelley, President and CEO of MLSE, announced that Brendan Shanahan’s contract as president of the Toronto Maple Leafs would not be renewed.
- The decision followed Toronto’s 6-1 home loss in a winner-take-all Game 7 playoff defeat to the Florida Panthers, which extended their streak of postseason disappointments under Shanahan.
- Shanahan, a Hockey Hall of Famer and three-time Stanley Cup champion, spent 11 seasons rebuilding the Leafs and signing key players like Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, but they won only two of 11 playoff series.
- Pelley emphasized the franchise's responsibility to win championships, stating, “Good simply isn’t good enough” and affirming they must be on the pathway to the Stanley Cup, while indicating Shanahan’s role would not be replaced immediately.
- The leadership change signals ongoing organizational adjustments at MLSE amid a pending Rogers acquisition, with Pelley expressing confidence in current management and fans’ expectations for improved playoff results.
