Though hes only been with parent company Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment for just over a year, CEO Tim Leiweke is already planning for his exit from the company. Initially Victor Antipin Women Jersey reported by Sportsnets Elliotte Friedman that he would soon leave his post, MLSE confirmed Thursday that Leiweke informed the company that he will exit by June 30, 2015 or until a succe sor is found.Since his arrival, Leiweke has been full of proclamations about the direction of one of the NHLs most storied franchises. In one of his first interviews after taking the job, Leiweke said he already had the Maple Leafs Stanley Cup the top prize since 1967. He also touted grandiose plans for the Maple Leafs forthcoming Jeff Skinner Jersey centennial celebration in which the team would aim to host just about every major NHL event over one calendar year. Now he wont be around to see any of that.Prior to joining MLSE, which also operates the NBAs Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC of MLS and the Toronto Marlies of the American hockey League, Leiweke spent 17 years with sports entertainment power AEG.The announcement of his impending departure comes just days after Leiweke strongly refuted Friedmans report. If Leiweke remains with Jean Sebastien Dea Women Jersey the company until his June 30, 2015 deadline, hell have just two years under his belt. , MSG and Comcast/NBC are already rumored to have interest in one of the most powerful and respected sports and entertainment executives.For Maple Leafs fans, theyll have to wonder what all the fu s was about. Beyond hiring Brendan Shanahan this summer to become the Maple Leafs president of hockey operations, and announcing plans to honor the teams legends with a statue, theres not a lot to be said for what Leiweke did to help improve the hockey club.The Maple Leafs mi sed the playoffs last season after a disastrous late-season collapse and Leiweke decided to retain general manager Dave Nonis and head coach Randy Carlyle. They even gave Carlyle an extension. Things are changing in the Leafs organization now, but it still seems as though they are a ways away from planning any parades.In a career that spans 30 years, Leiwekes time in Toronto will register as a Evander Kane Jersey mere blip in his profe sional timeline. Though the Raptors showed improvement as an organization and Toronto FC has made some high-profile additions to the team, the Maple Leafs may still be running in place a bit.Depending Zemgus Girgensons Jersey on how Shanahan turns out in his current role, that is likely going to end up being Leiwekes legacy with the franchise. The jury is still out on that one as Shanahan is far too early in his tenure to make any kind of judgment. For all of the plans and optimism Leiweke touted, they'll seem especially hollow now for long-suffering Maple Leafs fans.
