He's small and needs confidence. It's always taken time for him to adjust, and it always will. He's too good to not figure things out though. It's crazy that everyone was falling over themselves over how easy hockey looks for a 6'4" defenceman compared to a guy like McKenna. All anyone had to do was watch McKenna play at the start of this season to see what I was talking about. If you've seen him play when he has it figured out, you could still see the same things this year. Same decisions, but making them slower. Same skill, but nervous. Shying away from contact instead of making people miss him.

Who said he was a bust?
I can't find anyone that said that. What people expressed were valid concerns about his all around game, and how he creates offense. We should be able to have those types of conversations about a prospect. And why are you assuming that people that had those concerns haven't watched him play?
I am happy to stand corrected if you can point me to a number of people who called a bust. I can't find any.
We should be able to have these debates without making it seem like the opposing views are way more extreme than they actually are.
