In this episode of 'Between the Hash Marks', we discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs and the direction Brendan Shanahan is taking the franchise. This part 1 of 2. Next Thursday part 2 will be available.
We get into the 'On-Ice Product', Hockey Management decisions and organizational aspects of the Toronto Maple Leafs, as well as perspectives and insights. We discuss Brendan Shanahan's plan (the Shanaplan), Lou Lamoriello, Kyle Dubas, Mike Babcock, and Sheldon Keefe, as well as the contract negotiations for William Nylander and how they impacted future negotiations such as Mitch Marner. Because of the amount of content associated with the Toronto Maple Leafs management in recent years, we’ve decided to break up the content into 4 separate episodes, 2x Between the Hash Marks and 2x Syndicate episodes, providing a comprehensive snapshot of where they were and are as of today as an organization || ‘Business of Hockey and the Goal’ is made up of 3 episode formats: ‘Between the Hash Marks’ focuses on Hockey Management and the On-Ice Product; ‘The Syndicate’ focuses on decisions and initiatives by the Hockey Ownership Groups, and discusses the new generation of hockey that is becoming technically advanced for example hockey analytics; ‘PowerInsights’ compliments ‘The Syndicate’ focusing on insights, knowledge and methods in advanced business, for those hockey fans who are or want to be Entrepreneurs. New Episodes posted every Thursday.
