I disagree. McKenna is exactly what they need. Leadership skills and a player that would be a spiritual leader. It’s more than just offense. There needs to be accountability and someone that’ll lead, not follow. By year 3, he’ll be a top 10 player in the league. I’m taking that all day long. Sure, Leafs need defense, but that can be acquired in a trade. Get the guy with intangibles. 1st overall picks are a rarity. Use it wisely. Unless someone comes in and offers a 3rd pick overall and a top 10th overall, you don’t make a lesser deal.
Would Chicago do 4th over all in 2026, Leafs 2nd round pick 2026 and Edmononton’s 1st in 2027 or Frondell for the 1st overall?
