Who will be tanking for Gavin McKenna in 2025-2026?
- Thread starter Hockeyville USA
- Start date

Xenforo Cloud has scheduled an upgrade to XenForo version 2.2.16. This will take place on or shortly after the following date and time: Jul 05, 2024 at 05:00 PM (PT) There shouldn't be any downtime, as it's just a maintenance release. More info here
That ownership with Dubas and Sullivan running the show ......into the ground. Can't help but tank.
Pretty high pay roll for a tank team.
Get out Sid.

That's just sucking as a season progresses, not tanking. Tanking isn't simply being a bad team.
I think Calgary is due a pick but I could see Chicago eyeing up the idea of McKenna Bedard combo while they fill out the rest of the roster but don't see them tanking Pittsburg is probably the answer especially if he turns out to be a franchise elite talent

SJS, Hawks, Caps, Blues, Philly is my bottom 5.
Calgary, Jackets not far behind.
BUF, Habs, Ottawa, Detroit, NYI, PIT, NJ fighting for the last 2 playoffs spot in the east, with BUF/NYI clinching it.

I dont think hockey is for you
Buff, Ott, Det & Philly have no business being bottom 5 still 2 years from now
Mont, Ana & Columbus have had their time, and should be competing
Chi & SJ will still be sucking, but shouldn't be sucking so bad that they are bottom 3
CGY could be there, should be there, and I don't know if there is any other team out there that has never picked top 3 in a draft, and only once top 5.
I think the others will be teams that are having their windows closing, have little left in regards to future draft picks. WPG, Vegas, TB, etc

You seem awfully invested in this. Sure for all we know he can be another Shane Wright, but right know he's outproducing McDavid at the same age and is also a great skater (though obviously not THE best skater). I think it's safe to say if this trajectory continues he'll be an outstanding talent, but sure you keep hating a 16 year old kid

Today I learned me not calling a 16 year old prospect “special” is hating on him.
Nice to know.
Angelo Esposito had a similar output as a 16 year old (. Anything is possible. I don’t think he’s going first overall, simple as that. I’m sorry if that offends you. Maybe you need a break from the internet for a day because you can’t seem to grasp not everyone shares the same opinion as you.

Oh no! We suck again!!
Absolutely Pittsburgh. I seriously wonder what would happen if they *DIDN'T* have a Lemieux or Crosby for even a minute

doesnt offend anyone, but youre probably just looking for attention....
I mean you respond "he isn’t a special talent"... so either you just want attention by going against what every hockey fan and expert are saying about him (which is probably the case), or you simply dont know talent when you see it.
Its fine to say "so far looks amazing, but still young, time will tell".... but you didnt, you chose to flat out say "he ISNT a special talent". And thats just a ridiculous statement given what hes done so far.
You give Esposito as an example, yet we didnt get it wrong when: Gretzky, Mario, Lindros, Crosby, McDavid, Bedard were turning heads at 16.

He isn’t a special talent, he is good, and is going to go top-5 in 2026. But Speical? No.

Okey so is this just a guessing game, or do we actually evaluate prospects by what we see?
It's possible (though unlikely) that he falls apart in the next two years, or some other talent comes out of nowhere. But right now there is not a single evidence that would hint to that. So to say he's not a special talent is just trying to be edgy/different.
By all means tell us what you think is wrong in his game and post the 4 players that will get drafted ahead of him.
