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.

Brendan Shanahan is out as Maple Leafs president, ending the Hall of Famer's tenure after 11 years and 9 playoff appearances -- but none beyond the second round.
