Celebrini was not considered one of the high end #1 picks.
“Six NHL scouts and executives were polled”
granted not a big sample, but gives an idearanked after Jack hughes
I think he would rank #2 now after Mcdavid
The idiots they polled must have worked for the Leafs and had no clue idea what they were talking about. It’s no surprise the New York Times is full of bullshit polls though.
Celebrini had 32 goals and 64 points and +25 in his draft year in the NCAA.
McKenna had 15 goals and 51 points and -7 in his draft year in the NCAA.
Celebrini was always legit. He also plays C. McKenna isn’t at that level.
