I think it's fair to call sample size into account so early this year. Reschny could very well end up better than McQueen in the long run.
Still, I think the size and skill combination with McQueen, 'toolsy' guys like this always have a higher currency because they're so rare.
I doubt a quarter of a season has changed the scouting community's view of him too much.

If it doesnt it should?
With any small sample the question has to be asked is it a blip or a trend? Multiple factors can be at play in a short sample but it is a legitimate question as the talent ramps up how does a prospect respond?
Personally i place high value at actually playing higher levels its why i have stenberg ahead of mckenna. You can talk skill in jr all you want but stenberg is almost point per game as a kid in a professional league. Real results, not projection.
All you can ask of a prospect is to be doing well in the league they are in and if you are falling short absolutely questions should begin to be asked.
