Alexis Lafreniere was not as highly touted. Many believed that it was a poor draft year. Something like Rielly’s year. This draft seems to have 6 really good players at the top. 3 defensemen, 2 wingers and a center. The Leafs have an important couple of decisions to make. Keep the pick and hope for the best, or trade the pick and draft a defenseman and get another 1st rounder or equivalent in return. Vancouver, Chicago and Calgary seem to be the teams that want to play, so go see what each is willing to give up.
Lafreniere didn’t score at the level Mckenna did.
Mckenna last WHL season d-1 season he had an NHLe of 57 points, Lafreniere in his same season QMJHL d-1 was 40
huge difference, even in Lafreniere Draft season his NHLe is 50
Its safe to say if Mckenna played last season in the WHL he puts up big numbers, 160 points+ which would be an NHLe of 66
