I didn't notice the spelling mistake but Wikipedia found it after I copied part of the thread to get more info on Shanahan.
Did you mean:
Brendan Shanahan
On topic neither team is better off in this situation as both presidents are figureheads. The Leafs at least have an existing GM but Nonis might not be there long. It will all depend on who Linden and Shanahan hire as the next GM. If they hire a good hockey guy and give him all the power things could turn around but if they hire a puppet things will be bad for a long time
