Am I Missing Something About McKenna?

Discussion

The Leafs are about to take a 5’11 winger who last season…

…when you remove an 8 point night he had in an 11-4 circus game versus a brutal 0.350 conference win percentage team…

Had:

In 5 fewer games, 29 less points than 6'2 center
Eichel

In 2 less games, 17 less points than 6'2 center
Fantilli

In 5 less games, 17 less points than 6'0 center
Cooley

In 4 less games, 21 less points that 6'0 center Celebrini

McKenna has size and offence stats that look like
2nd-4th round winger picks out of the ncaa forever.

He made a name for himself by racking up points in a WHL devastated talent wise by the advent of the competitor BCHL.

This is also a guy who broke a guys jaw at a bar for making a momma comment and was charged with assault during his draft year and did Connor McGregor UFC loose arm goal celebrations on ice.

Am I missing something?

How are the Leafs even considering using a #1 pick on this guy?
