Maple Leafs part ways with Shane Doan

The shake up in the Toronto Maple Leafs front office continues.

After John Chayka and Mats Sundin were brought in to man the ship, there's been several Leafs executives who have fled, and on Monday, the team announced that they've parted ways with Shane Doan.

Shane Doan and the Leafs have parted ways. His deal was expiring June 30. Sounds like a mutual decision. Doan was brought in by former Leafs GM Brad Treliving. Doan recently interviewed in Vancouver. We’ll see where Doan ends up but he’s now a free agent.

Doan served as a special advisor to former general manager Brad Treliving, so there was lots of speculation this change was coming. There's also the fact Doan was in Arizona when Chayka took over and let's just say those two did not see eye to eye one bit.

Doan's contract was set to expire on June 30, however, they've decided there's no need for either side to wait this out any longer. Doan's expected to be in the running for a front office job with the Vancouver Canucks.

Doan's been in management right after his playing days, which included 21 years in the NHL, with the Winnipeg Jets, who later moved to Arizona, where he scored 402 goals and 570 assists in 1,540 regular season games. He also added 28 points in 55 Stanley Cup Playoff games.

“I’m out.”
