Sam McKee

Bet on the guy with the freakish preternatural gifts at a young age who had 130 points in 50-some games in the dub and then was the second highest scorer in college hockey at 18 last year.

He is a unbelievable point producer vision guy.

And...

To me, all the other guys, it's like, oh, if this guy can figure out what XYZ, I just feel like you have to take the guy who's got the most upside.

And for me, that's McKenna.

Caleb Maholtra sounds like he's going to be a great leader.

And we interviewed the kid, and he sounds like a great mature kid.

How's McKenna sound?

He sounded awesome.

You know, Chase Reed, very super talented kid.

I mean, that's part of your whole thing is the fear of if you don't take him.

Yeah.

I do think there's a lot of like proposed trades out there.

Where the Leafs trade back into a top 10 pick, but get something else as well.

So if all of a sudden you have Chase Reed and Alexi Lafreniere or something, I don't know, whatever.

It feels like, okay, well, the Rangers pick five, right?

It just feels like some of those do appeal to me, and so I'd be listening.

I am too, but I'm surprised he needed to say that because it seems like the team was saying that for him and he didn't have to look like the one who wanted out.

It does sound, you know, we kind of had a sense that was coming, but don't you feel like Morgan Riley is kind of in the same spot here?

The next Dougie.
