F Gavin McKenna - Medicine Hat Tigers, WHL (2026 Draft)

[Bubbles]

I mean, there is nothing wrong with being a winger. Personally he does not remind me of Laf in play style and would be more like a Marner or Kucherov type winger. I don't think he has it in him to play the physical style of Laf, he is more cerebral and calculated. But nothing inherently wrong with that kind of player being a winger.

But I also think he could/should at least be tried at C. He has all the skills offensively to be a Centre.

I'm not comparing their styles really. Just as a high end prospect that stays a winger.

I'm saying it would serve him better to move to the middle, if he wants to.

I can only think of past no. 1 picks as pure wingers as Slaf or Laf. Most are centres.

Ovi, Kovalchuk, Hall Nash, Yakupov are some others since 2000
