From sunhornby: Maple Leafs should get their house in order for next GM
Shanahan is torn by the urge to get someone proven in trades and contract negotiations ASAP to handle any hot-button issues with the roster beginning July 1. Topping that is Auston Matthews with his no-move clause that kicks in on the final year of his deal in five weeks, ditto for a no-move clause for Mitch Marner’s final two seasons and William Nylander’s 10-team no-trade clause in his encroaching last year.
While it’s thought Shanahan is wasting time hoping an established exec such as St. Louis’s Doug Armstrong, would ever leave his team, the long game after June 30, when contracts are up, could change that. It’s also when GM Stan Bowman and coach Joel Quenneville could be permitted to return after an extended time-out by the league, punishment for their inaction in the Kyle Beach case during their time with the Chicago Blackhawks a few years ago.
