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.

Amid rumors of his departure to the New York Islanders, Brendan Shanahan won't return as the Toronto Maple Leafs president.

There is now a clear path for Brendan Shanahan to join the Islanders as Lou Lamoriello’s successor as team president.
