How he's managed to stick around this long, with that mediocre track record, is remarkable.
One series win, through ten full years of the "Shanaplan".
Incompetence anywhere else would earn you a ticket out the door but since the Leafs basically print money he's been stapled in place.
It won’t do anything. They have to move one of the core players if the same core keeps losing. I’m not sure why anything else is even considered.
In perspective, the leafs had missed the playoffs for a full decade when Shanny was hired
He turned the team into a contending playoff team in short order
The players they have are the players they have, if they can’t perform Shanny should move on from them, but he’s done a really nice job
The team is light years better than the one he took over
Does Toronto have Matthews/Marner/Nylander if not for the prior mediocrity? Those three top draft picks alone would have Toronto a playoff contender.
Similar to Bruins fans applauding Sweeney when he inherited Bergeron/Marchand/Pastrnak.
