During a news conference on Friday, where he elaborated on the team’s decision to "part ways" with general manager Kyle Dubas, Toronto Maple Leafs president and alternate governor Brendan Shanahan admitted he “felt differently” about the future of the Leafs after receiving a call regarding a “new financial package” from Dubas’s agent — prior to the cessation of his contract.

Shanahan added that the decision to split from Dubas was “ultimately” his own to make, claiming that money was not the reason for that.

An emotional Dubas said at his end-of-season press conference he wasn't sure if he would continue on as GM, citing the stress on his young family.

Shanahan said that some of the further personnel moves “have to be the responsibility of the new general manager.” When discussing his search for a new GM, Shanahan said, “I want to be very thoughtful and thorough but I do think it is a priority and it has to happen rather soon.”

Dubas, who took over as GM from Lou Lamoriello in May of 2018, was set to have his contract expire on June 30.

The Leafs won a playoff series for the first time in nearly two decades this spring when they defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning before bowing out to the underdog Florida Panthers in a disappointing second-round showing.
