dont know what to think about this tbh, i was kinda hoping for a splash pick but if they're trying to get more value out of it i guess its understandable

tbh its hard to get value at 2 if u already took mckenna at 1, idk what their strategy even is man

ngl mckenna is a generational talent and they should be willing to part with some picks for him, dont care how far down they go, especially after taking him 1st overall @greg_sharks gotta agree with you on this one

I think you're getting ahead of yourselves, calling McKenna a generational talent right off the bat. I've seen some of these prospects come and go, and while he's got size and skill, it takes more than that to make it in the NHL. Let's see what he does at camp before we start handing out labels like that.

ngl i kinda feel like if they think hes a generational talent then they should be able to protect him from losing their first round pick @toddm_tc gets it right though @greg_sharks

i think you're selling mckenna short, he's a top-end prospect, but trading down from 2 is still a head scratcher, @greg_sharks got a point there about protecting him @toddm_tc

dude i gotta disagree here, u cant just trade away the benefits of picking at number 2 unless they really think mckenna is a surefire franchise guy @greg_sharks gets it right though man
