Apr 6, 2023; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Arizona Coyotes Chief Hockey Development Officer Shane Doan looks on during the seventh inning of the game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field.

Doan’s role with the Maple Leafs was not yet clear. He had taken a position with the Coyotes as chief hockey development officer in January 2021 but stepped away from the job in September 2022

He joins Toronto shortly after the franchise hired Brad Treliving as its new general manager on May 31. Treliving previously held the same role with the Calgary Flames.

The Maple Leafs‘ most important offseason task is addressing the contract of former league MVP Auston Matthews, who is an Arizona native who grew up rooting for Doan’s Coyotes teams

In 21 seasons with the Coyotes franchise, dating to their final season as the original Winnipeg Jets, Doan played in 1,540 games and tallied 972 points (402 goals, 570 assists)
