I think fans wanted to see more activity, but I don't think the Leafs are done by any stretch.
They're going to go into July 1, they're going to look at a couple options there, but they're still figuring out Morgan Rielly's situation.
It is possible they hold on to him, although I think the preference would be to find him a new spot, but they're not going to do it just for the sake of doing it," said David Pagnotta, Daily Faceoff analyst.
The analyst noted that Toronto is actively identifying specific roster vulnerabilities to address before the season begins.
"They're looking for a 3C.
There's some talk that they're still in that market for another winger to jump into their top six, or maybe bounce within the top nine.
I don't think they're done on D. They moved out Brandon Carlo for picks.
They're still kind of navigating the defensive waters, as well. Then there's the goaltending discussion.
They're looking at every option to see how they can make this team better.
Zach Werenski would likely cost [$9 million-plus], and I'm not sure where they're going to go on that front, but the Leafs are looking at everything…turning over every stone, kind of thing.
That's what Toronto has been doing over the last couple of weeks, and it's escalated going into the draft.
It's from all indications still on pace for this week, but you know, we'll see what else they have up their sleeves," said Pagnotta.
The free agency push comes immediately after the Maple Leafs selected a highly touted prospect with the first-overall selection in the draft.
"Patrick Kane texted me," said Gavin McKenna, first-overall draft pick.
The newly drafted forward expressed excitement about hearing from one of the most accomplished American players in hockey history.

"He's my idol, so that was cool," said McKenna.
