13 points in 7 games at the U-18's, tied for 37th-best all-time, 22nd-best all-time for goals (8).
10 points in 5 games at the Hlinka, tied for 26th-best all-time.
11 points in 5 games at the WJAC-19, tied for 6th-best all-time.
It would be hard to pick any other forward other than McKenna over this kid.

Like you've been saying - as much as it's Mission McKenna, even if the lottery doesn't play to our favour, we're still in line to draft our new best player...
Here is Elite Prospects Top 32 for September. I imagine they'll have an October release soon.
Top-10:
1. McKenna
2. Stenberg
3. Verhoeff
4. Lin
5. Belchetz
6: Lawrence
7. Preson
8. Rudolph
9. Villeneuve
10. Roobroeck
They also note that given the league's preference for Centres, a strong year for Lawrence could easily see him secure the #2 spot.
What's fun for me is this will be the first time in a number of years that I really pay attention to the World Jr.'s
