I mean, I don’t know, maybe the best player in 2008 in the world is born in July or something and we haven’t seen them in junior yet.
You are literally missing the point. Almost certainly McKenna will be the best, but how can you in any way try to estimate when you don’t know what the competition is like? Unless we’re talking about like a McDavid or someone who there might be an equivalent every 10 years there’s no way of having a good idea until we see what the January-September 15 2008 born players are like.
Of course almost certainly he'll be the best. That is what I've been saying all along, but for some reason people like you always push back against that evident fact.
The kid is a Bedard-level talent, just under the McDavid/Crosby/Gretzky level of talent and hype.
Those talents are obvious, if another one existed in that draft we'd know it by know. Now you say "almost certainly" he'll be the best, but for the last few week you always said it's impossible to say he'll be number 1 because there might be some incredible talent that somehow has not emerged yet that will challenge him... Which I always said is so unlikely that it should not even be a consideration.
Now that he destroyed U18 and showed dominance against a good team like the US, some around here now seem to see the light, but it was always evident to anyone looking at how this kid plays and how he's been exponentially improving in the last few years.
Like most things in life, nothing is 100% certainty... But when you watch McKenna play only for a few minutes, you know that the odds if another like him emerging out of nowhere to challenge him is basically 0.
Even the smallest of leagues are heavily scouted nowadays... This is not the 90s where some talents could hide in Europe or in Russia.
Anyways, good that you finally agree now he is almost certainly the best player of his class.
