and the penalty killing.
He just, he plays again a little bit, obviously a different way, but certainly has the capability of being a number one defenseman.
Well, I think it's just because it's an all-around game.
So I would, you know, and I was talking with, I recorded a segment and a show with Jason Bukla today that's going to play this weekend, and we talked about Mahotra, and I really looked at him as this combination between Jonathan Tabes, and I know that's high praise, and Nico Heischer.
So it's a combination of those two types of players.
Honestly, looking at what the order is now,
I wouldn't be surprised that he goes five to the New York Rangers.
Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Chicago needs another defenseman.
They need a D-man too.
So I wouldn't be shocked if it either goes...
A forward, a defenseman, a forward to Vancouver, defenseman, and a forward to โ and Mahota to the Rangers.
That wouldn't surprise me.
But if both forwards go first, then Chase Reed can go to Vancouver.
Chicago will take a D, and then the Rangers, I would not be shocked to take Mahota as the fifth overall pick.
Potentially, say Toronto takes Stenberg and Stenberg,
And McKenna's sitting there, like it's tantalizing to take him and just add him to the mix.
But then sooner or later, they're going to have to trade somebody to go get a defenseman.
Is that going to be, are they going to have to trade Nisa?
Are they going to have to trade, you know, somebody else off their list of a, you know, a William Eklund?
