The reactions to the notion of drafting McGroarty seem pretty ridiculous to me. In Mckenzie's initial draft list in September he had McGroarty ranked 12th overall. In his mid term rankings he had him at 26th overall. He had fractured his hand during that time so it makes sense there would be a decline in his play and that he would drop in the rankings. Over his last 10 games he has put up 17 points which is the same production as Cutter Gauthier and only 1 point shy of Logan Cooley. Gauthier was ranked 13th overall in the mid term rankings and Cooley was ranked 2nd.
There is a very strong possibility that McGroarty is a riser in the rankings. If he maintains similar production he could end up close to his initial ranking if not higher. At the same time a lot of prospects that have been ranked fairly high are starting to slow their production and a few of them will likely fall in the final rankings.
Depending on how the Sens finish the season and what happens in the draft lottery it is quite possible that they pick in the 8-12 range. Depending on how McGroarty finishes the season and where he ends up on the final rankings for Mckenzie he could be a viable pick in that range.
