Would've been a step in the right direction to see them hire someone from outside the Organization for a specific job that they didn't have to be promoted to later. A specific job of overseeing hockey operations from someone in the league or head office for 25 years, without a prior connection to the franchise is exactly what the organization needs.
Shanahan could've been a huge failure, but it would've at least been the correct way of going about it.
Edit: the other aspect is, now that he's said no, the problem they were hoping to rectify with his hiring still exists.
