Does Mckenna probably have the higher ceiling? Probably. However for an average sized winger to be a gamechanger is rare and only about four or five if these guys are in the league. He is pure offense so his usage is going to be offense only. Has the talent to be a 100 point guy in strategic deployment. Doing great in the NCAA.
Stenberg is already playing in a men’s professional league as an 18 year old. You dont get ice time unless your contributing to winning and he is just under a point per game. Has the talent to be a point per game but also a player you use whether defending a lead or looking to get it. To me that makes him a more valuable player-deployment.

What's more, he's doing it in a league where there is less scoring in general compared to the NHL. The SHL has 5 total players who are above a point per game. Stenberg is 15th in that league in p/g. For an 18 year old, that's crazy good.
I'm still on team McKenna, but if we end up with the 2nd pick and get Stenberg, I won't be disappointed at all.
