His role has been to be the mentor and guide for both Trelving and Conroy an that’s what he’s doing, and he’s probably fully aware this is his last year here as they shake things up with some new energy going into the new building, which iclnudes a younger POHO incoming.

Wonder if it's Shanahan if it's indeed an outside hire at some point given that Murray tried to get him previously. Would be a lot more inspiring than Maloney given that the Leafs were a legitimately top team and all in on skill when he was there and you could have worse blemishes on your track record than being overly committed to a 100pt selke contender (Marner), though I'm assuming there were lessons learned in that too.
