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
He is like Kirby Dach that way, a fellow 3rd overall pick. They are both 3rd overall picks. Two years apart for their draft years.

It would be surprising if he was generational (McTavish) mainly because he is currently probably the 7th best player out of that first round (Power, Beniers, Johnston, Guenther, Hughes and Clarke being better) but that draft could have a lot of generational players.
