Re: Leafs fire Sheldon Keefe
Shanahan in 2009 became NHL's Vice President of Hockey and business development. Then in 2011 he took over the NHL Seniors VP role (from Colin Campbell). He started the "here's the video and explanation of why the NHL is suspending a player" including narrating the videos. He was in that role for a while (I think till 2014).
Shanahan was hired by the Leafs based off his time working for the NHL. His work with the NHL was about being an innovator of sorts expanding the NHLs "fun" in developing young players. His plan of "scorched earth" was huge. It was a bold move too, considering Toronto had never done such a thing.
The above is just more of an outline of wht Shanahan did prior to Toronto, just information.
Oh and the person who is responsible for hiring Shanahan was Tim Leiweke, who pretty much as soon as he hired Shanahan, announced he was leaving MLSE and officially left in 2015 (wanted to be an entrepreneur). The MLSE board knew his stay in MLSE would be short fwiw
