With that said I do think he'll fill out a bit and likely end up better than Bedard anyway.

Bedard has 136pts in 159 games all but 9 of those games played as a teenager. He is doing just fine but I suppose if he is supposed to be the next McDavid or Crosby he should be at a higher ppg.
I don’t think McKenna will be the next great one but I do see franchise player potential in him for sure.
