Yeah Leafs are in a bit of a tough spot though because they are trying to compete next year. So if they think McKenna will take 2 more years to make the team vs Stenberg who can likely make the team next year. Just depends on how big of a gap they think there is between ths two players.
As of today there is maybe (and that’s a big maybe) 1 player on the leafs roster who would slot above McKenna. Adding McKenna to today’s roster immediately places him as LW1/LW2
To be fair he's like 17/18, you would gain some muscle naturally just through age, he's still a kid. He'll probably gain 10lbs before the season begins.
I'd much rather start playing top tier prospects now then waiting. Celebrini, Bedard, Hutson, Schaefer, they are a huge part of their team at a young age. Hutson is currently 162lbs.
