So you don’t give a shit about McKenna, np, gotchya. Put him into a non defensive role against the primary defensive pairings and lines of the opposition to keep Captain Matthews happy.
So my guess is you don’t believe McKenna can become an all around guy decently so just start using his skill right away to keep the primary star happy. Fair enough. Cheers.
By that dumbass logic, the Leafs should still have Nylander on the 3rd line because he hasn’t learned how to play in all three zones yet either.
Keeping Matthews at maximum value is the only path forward for the Leafs. Either he wants to leave when he becomes a UFA or he is the #1 weapon in winning. You have no option unless you blow up the team today and rebuild now which this retard GM elected not to do. If he has to blow it up later, at least Matthews will be at the highest possible value.
McKenna will never be bigger or stronger. He’s small and he’s weak. That’s what he is. He’s another Nylander. The all around option was Stenberg and the Leafs pissed that away.
Nylander is 200lbs, he’s not that small. Not defensive, agreed, but not tiny, that’s Marner who is only 180 but is defensive lol
As for what I said I was only saying that you just want to sell out this #1 pick as a career passer. That’s it, all I meant, so fuck off.
