The other thing I always worry about, and I don't know if Toronto... I mean, we always say they've got to keep the number one pick.

He's that much better, if he's that much better than everybody else.

But this is a crazy thought.

I always look, okay, at McKenna.

Is he a great player?

Like, everybody...

the first pick, they always say he's generational recently, but Lafreniere was the first pick overall where they said the same thing, and he was a winger, and it took him a couple years to actually get better, and I don't know if in the environment in Toronto, if you can wait a couple years before you become an established, really established star.

So, to me, if I'm Toronto, like, I mean, Vancouver's got to want him.

Maybe you can get the third pick and

and a really great player out of Vancouver, if they have any, and do something along those lines.

If Toronto doesn't want to just... If they want to retool rather than rebuild, I think that's something.

But to hide... If you put McKenna...

right away with austin matthews and it doesn't work then you're not you're almost not blaming it on austin you're saying this guy's a bust and that's unfair to him um so i don't know what you do but i'd always want to draft a center or defenseman i'm i'm sorry but wingers seem to take longer and they don't produce at the level you think a first overall pick should produce that yeah they've they've got to be

No, there isn't.

And you know what?

I don't know what the Leafs' plan is, but I mean, I still think Matthew Nyes is a really good player, and I think Easton Cowan is going to be a good player.

And those are two good left-wingers.

McKenna's a left-winger.

Where do you slot him in?

That's why, I mean, I don't know.
