I'm pretty sure if we ended up drafting McKenna there would be the same crowd saying we need to temper expectations. Either they underestimate or they don't grasp what Parekh has accomplished. Dahlin is a very good D man but at the same age he was not remotely doing what Parekh has. We are talking about a player who's ceiling is not Dahlin, it's generational D man. That isn't to say that's what he will become but the possibility is there and that means there is no chance you trade that player. Parekh hitting his potential ceiling means he is the best player to come out of his draft, Macklin included.
