You know, like I think, I think we're, we're, we kind of have all the information that we're going to get aside from maybe the men's world championship when we'll see things.

But for me, you know, I, I think as I've gone through the process, you go up, you go down, you go all over, you know, what do you come back to?

And I think, you know, you,

If you're picking number one, you want to try to hit the biggest home run that you can.

I think in this draft, really, there's not many players that can do that for you, but Gavin McKenna can.

I think that that's probably, for me, the place where I feel safest to take the number one pick.

You've got the most dynamic talents in the draft.

You've got a guy that has a track record of production.

He's done it at multiple levels.

there are definitely holes and warts in his game, but there are things that, you know, you hope with some maturity, strength, other things, you know, you can kind of pull out of him over time.

You know, the issues that are in his game are not related to, you know, hockey sense, which if that was a big red flag, that would give me a lot more concern, you know?

So I think there are other things that he can do to elevate his game.

And, you know, I think the ceiling for him is probably higher than most players.

We're talking about a potential, you know,

you know, top scorer in the league, a guy that I think can be an all-star.

So, you know, I do think that there's that, but there's definitely, you know, issues with his game that I think are, have raised enough concerns over the course of the season that, you know, I think you have to tread carefully and you have to be really smart about how you're developing this player, where you're putting them, the situations you're putting them in, and just making sure that he's positioned the best way for success, because obviously it's a critical pick.

Yeah, you know, I think it's probably just, you know,

I wouldn't want him to change a ton, right?

You know, I wouldn't want to see anything that I hadn't really seen.

And over the course of the year, I want to see him, you know, trying to push the pace offensively, trying to make plays one-on-one.
