And that's what makes it so difficult to nail things down on the Vancouver search.

We do know that things have been decided on the Toronto Maple Leaf side of things, and they held the press coffins today, John Schaika and Matt Sundin.

And if people thought that Matt Sundin being up there on the podium and sitting down was going to...

let's say, dulled the knives that were going to be thrown Keith Pelley and John Schaika's way.

That certainly did not happen.

Steve Simmons went off the top rope with his question about essentially calling John Schaika a fraud.

Number one, what do you make of the hire?

And number two, what do you make of the spectacle we saw today when they introduced those guys?

Well, and I think, I know the inference some people are making on this hire, especially if you view it in the lens of, is Sheikha even a key decision maker?

What are the strings that Keith Pelley is going to be pulling behind the scenes here?

Is he essentially going to be playing president slash GM to some extent?

It seems like he wants to be very hands-on, and a cynic would say he hired a management team which allows him to do so.

No, I hear you on that.

And Frank, listen, man, always appreciate your time.

Thanks for this.

And we'll chat with you again next week.

And hopefully we have some news on the Canucks GM search and also hopefully talking about the Canucks having a top pick in the draft.

Yeah, can't wait for it.

Thanks, Frank.
