I didn't realize Shanahan was still involved in the NHL to this degree. Hopefully he does a better job these next few years then we're accustomed to.

Hopefully Shanahan will be as good at properly dealing with discipline as he was at playing the game - still have great memories of him in a Wings uniform, helping us to 3 cups.

I'd love to see some Shanny style discipline in the NHL.  Good ol fashioned ass kickings from the man himself! Good luck Shanny.  Good to see former Wings players doing well after their playing careers.  Stevie Y has mad TB a force to be reckoned with in the East, Shanny is moving up the NHL corporate ladder (he was VP of Business development, right?) and Fischer seems to be doin' okay as a scout.  A real testament to the franchise.  GO WINGS!! Can't wait to see what the offseason entails for us.

Pretty sure a lot of this has to do with potential conflicts of interest involving his son, Gregory. It makes sense for him to step down now, with his son in the Finals.

has been involved with the NHL in various executive capacities almost since the day he retired from playing. He's always been a highly intelligent and thoughtful fellow and I think he'll do great.
