Yeah he’s probably the fastest player in the draft.

Pretty much — I think he could be an elite NHL skater too. As in Hughes bro level.

I hope to watch McQueen tonight. At least for the first two periods.

he's a highly skilled head case....... seems his "give a dam" is broke.

Yeah skill is nice. Whatever. The important thing, who's available in the draft that can do this? THAT'S the guy I want!

is that even aloud on a pen's team?

Jake O'Brien checks a lot of boxes for me. Right-shooting center putting up a lot of points in the OHL, arguably the best current developmental league in North America (if not the entire world).

I have been saying for a while that if we drafted two centers with our 2 firsts this year, I would be quite pleased.

By the way, I know McKenna will be the main prize of the 2026 draft and DuPont the main prize of the 2027 draft. But McKenzie also seems to be very high on Quebec center Alexis Joseph for the 2027 draft. I think he is like 6'4" at age 15 and an offensive force.

I also like O'Brien but not in top 6. I would trade down if the centers I prefer are gone and not sold on another smaller winger. Pick up a second and maybe the Rangers pick at say 14 you have center, RW and who is there in the second round.
