McKenna is my #1 pick and by a wide margin. However, I am loving the doubt creeping in with him not breaking out in the NCAA, and merely having a great, but not spectacular, season. If the Flames end up last and losing the lottery, or even finishing somewhere in the bottom 3 - whatever - if the Flames don't get the top pick, I hope that there is a whole lot of doubt about McKenna, and teams overthink it and pick someone else.
Taking a look at Celebrini's dad, it is not difficult to make the assumption that he had his son physically ready for the NCAA. McKenna is NOT. He has a lot more room to grow, and when he does, he will be real good. I take him #1 without hesitating, but I do hope that there is more hesitation happening. Would be great for this kid to join the Flames with a huge chip on his shoulder being questioned and passed-over if the Flames don't have the #1 pick.
