After yet another disappointing early exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Toronto Maple Leafs are facing lots of questions this offseason.

Many people have been wondering if Maple Leafs President Brendan Shanahan will keep his job. A recent announcement from the team suggests we'll soon know more about his future.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported that key Maple Leafs staff, including Shanahan, will talk to the media this Friday.

The list of people joining this end-of-season meeting includes Keith Pelley, Brendan Shanahan, and Brad Treliving. Shanahan being on this list hints that he might stay in his role.


However, head coach Sheldon Keefe, who has said he hopes to stay with the team, will not be at this event. Speaking to the media, Keefe expressed his confidence in winning with the team.

"Now more than ever I believe in myself and our team in that I will win, and our team will win [...] that decision is out of my control,"
he said.

This news comes after a tough season for the Maple Leafs, who lost to the Boston Bruins in seven games in the first round of the playoffs.

This has increased pressure on the team's leaders, especially since there were high hopes for the team's main players, known as the "Core 4."

Everyone is looking forward to Friday's media conference, where more information about the team's plans and leadership will likely be shared.
