I'd say it's more like 2 months. Heading into the year, McKenna had the most productive D-1 year since Crosby 23 years ago. Better than Bedard. Better than McDavid. He was generational talent in everyone's eyes until questions started being asked maybe 6 weeks ago at most?
Hope it's just a blip for the kid.
Interestingly, his season is mirroring Hagens' draft year in a lot of ways. Hagens ended up going 7 after the hype train crashed. He was no mckenna in terms of hype though so I doubt he drops out of the top 5, but if he does go top 5, it won't be based on his draft year to this point.
