He was drafted 9th overall for a reason.

He could, but let's not pretend he was a 1st overall or 1st D selected.

McTavish was 3rd overall. He "could" be a generational center (technically)

I wouldn't trade straight up because I don't think losing 3 years of control of a player at this point of our rebuild makes any sense , but it's not an unfair trade
His stats in junior say his ceiling is generational. His floor will be a top pairing D man. There is nothing in McTavish's junior career to suggest his upside is generational. If both hit their ceilings it would be like trading prime Erik Karlsson for prime Ryan O Reilly. It would be one of the worst trades in team history. Zane Parekh should be untouchable.
