I would be shocked if McKenna doesn't sign a contract right after being drafted. Players with that pedigree typically go right to the NHL.
A big reason for junior players to opt for university is simply to have access to better facilities. I would imagine most NCAA Division I teams have it more comfortable than most small city WHL teams. Plus someone like McKenna is probably way better served focussing on training and strength, which college athletes get to do. He doesn't need to do another WHL full season grind to get better.
