There's a lot.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

Yeah, there's a lot that still needs to happen.

And, you know, Chayka mentioned on a few times during the press conference in the scrums afterwards on Monday that reshaping their defense is a priority.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

And he said priority specifically.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

So I'm expecting that to be kind of where they focus on next in terms of any big potential type of shifts that they do to this to this roster.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

I think there is going to be a conversation.

With Morgan Riley, if that hasn't happened already, but I believe it's supposed to at some point, just to see where he's at.

I know he spoke with the prior regime in training at the end of last season.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

He spoke again at camp.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

His name was out there ahead of the deadline.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

Obviously, new guys in place now.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

But I think they're going to have that conversation there.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

They've got to rejig their bottom six.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

They've got to figure out goaltending because with Hildeby entering the mix full-time.

And then, yeah, the coaching stuff this weekend.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

So there's a lot that still needs to happen in Toronto.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek

But with all of the hoopla that was tied to Sunday's news release and then Monday's press conference –

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

to the shiny new toy that is the first overall pick that everybody's focused on.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

They got really lucky in that regard because not only does that mean you're getting a hell of a player, but it took the attention away from some of the negativity that was tied to the press conference on Monday and to the overall hire in general, quite frankly.

The Sheet with Jeff Marek
On the Sheet: David Pagnotta on the Latest in Toronto, Canucks GM Search, and more

Yeah, the vibe in the city went from doom and gloom, what the hell are we doing, this organization is a joke, and whatever other headline, this and that, to holy crap, first overall pick, the team is saved, we're in an amazing position, we've got McKenna, presumably that's who they're getting.
