Yes, he's my favorite player. Yes what I'm about to say affected one of my recent posts, but that's not what this is about. I get that everyone is excited about our 2OA. And I get that we really need defense and Eky is a proven, young player who could still reach his ceiling and that makes him valuable. But that doesn't mean that people need to go into EVERY post about Eklund and talk about trading him, especially posts that have NOTHING to do with our roster situation.

I don't know if they are trolling or just really that dense to recognize it's not always the right thread to comment about that. Shoot, we have a mega thread where you can go and post to your heart's delight about the subject. And I realize posting this here, will inevitably invite these people here. Oh well. I just needed to say this.

@ibcfreak Feel free to delete this if you think it's unnecessary.

This isn't a trade thread or anything like that. If Toronto does the unthinkable and drafts Stenberg or even Reid, what does the fandom think of McKenna? We know GMMG loves his big boys, and I wonder if McKenna's size deters him from taking him. We already have three slightly smaller players in Celebrini, Smith, and Misa. Taking a 4th would leave our top 6 a bit undersized. Also, we know his two way game, something Warso is big on pushing for, is a bit lacking.

At the same time, does anyone want to see McKenna in our division with a chip on his shoulder that we passed on him? Or worse, does anyone want to see him in our conference paired up with Bedard?

What are your thoughts on him? Is his ceiling worth taking him? Would we see an amazing duo of Misa and McKenna, like our top line? Or is his size and lack of defense something that should worry us?
