Slow start. Far less CHL production at the same ages. Worse on the dot. He’s nearly a full year older (an entire hockey season older) and has 6 inches on Reschny.

It was a more speculative pick than most (all scouting is speculative of course) because of missing most of his draft season.

It’s not that much has changed in 16 games. It’s that nothing has. And things certainly needed to change for McQueen to deserve being picked that high.
